Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of a respiratory disorder, including allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. The Veteran's exposure to CS gas during basic training is considered.
The deciding factor: The VA examination was deemed inadequate because it did not address all relevant in-service symptoms.
