The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 60 percent disabling for service-connected asthma with allergies based on the evidence of record.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition does not meet the criteria for a higher rating as it does not require daily use of systemic high dose corticosteroids or immuno-suppressive medications, nor does it manifest with FEV-1 less than 40-percent predicted, FEV-1/FVC less than 40 percent, or episodes of respiratory failure.
