Even when he returned stateside, his pulmonary function test results were clear. There are a number of them that are concerned that theyre written off as being normal because their pulmonary function tests are normal, said Miller. Some are concerned theyre not eligible for disability, because even though theyre not deployable, their pulmonary tests are normal.
