Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for asthma to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error and obtain a medical examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: The failure to provide a VA examination in connection with the Veteran's asthma claim under either McLendon or the PACT Act means that the rating decision denying service connection is based on a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
