Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for asthma to correct a regulatory and statutory duty and pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to VA's failure to comply with regulations regarding the presumption of soundness and its duty to provide an adequate medical opinion addressing whether there was clear and unmistakable evidence that the appellant's asthma both preexisted and was not aggravated by service.
