Partly granted
The Board granted a 100 percent disability rating for asthma with obstructive sleep apnea prior to April 9, 2013, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's disability picture more nearly approximated daily use of systemic (oral or parenteral) high-dose corticosteroids or immuno-suppressive medications.
