Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and a compensable evaluation for his service-connected conditions, finding that the evidence did not support higher ratings.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's sleep apnea with left diaphragm, surgical scar right knee, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, and right total knee replacement were found to be at their maximum schedular ratings, and no additional disability was shown to warrant a higher rating.
