Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 70 percent for PTSD effective March 1, 2021 and denied a higher rating for sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated the criteria for a 70 percent rating for PTSD, but evidence did not support a rating in excess of 50 percent for sleep apnea.
