Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable disability rating for bronchitis based on the evidence of record, which showed that his FEV-1 was 99 percent predicted and did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's bronchitis does not require inhaled medications or other treatments necessary to warrant a compensable disability rating under the applicable diagnostic code.
