The Board dismissed the claim for an earlier effective date for bronchial asthma and denied it for left knee strain. The claims for right knee strain and right hip strain were remanded for further action.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence supporting an earlier effective date and the need for additional information to adjudicate the claims properly.
