Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for a respiratory condition, claimed as chronic bronchitis, to ensure an adequate VA examination and obtain private treatment records.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an inadequate VA examination and failure to comply with procedures to obtain identified private treatment records that have a reasonable possibility of substantiating the Veteran's claim.
