The Board remands the claim for a pulmonary disorder, claimed as bronchitis, to obtain additional evidence and schedule an appropriate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The February 2022 medical opinion was found inadequate due to missing private medical treatment records and the Veteran's reported use of various medications without clear indication of their purpose. An adequate examination is necessary to determine the nature and etiology of any pulmonary condition present, including bronchitis.
