Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 60 percent for asthma as the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's condition met the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 VA examination and medical records showed FEV-1 and FEV-1/FVC values within the range for a 60 percent rating, without meeting the criteria for a 100 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 6602.
