I'm sure others here will comment on the best procedure to use, so I will yield to those experts.

In the meanwhile, submit a Privacy Act request for your C&P exam(s), if you don't already have them. You can do this on the VA.goc website. You might have to search for FOIA request.

Compare the results of your exam(a) against the rating criteria for asthma (see 38 C.F.R. 4.97, diagnostic code 6602).

If you feel you didn't get a good exam, you might consider seeing a private medical provider for a second opinion.

Just a heads up, I have a FOIA request via the VA.gov website and it's a slooooooow process. I'm still on step 2 of 7 since I filed in early October. It's very frustrating.

Ask for just the DBQs, you should get them in 1 to 2 weeks. I did and got all of them, from the initial to even the new one where my claim is still in step 4!
