Granted
The Board grants a disability rating of 50 percent, but no higher, for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on the Veteran's need for continuous airway pressure (CPAP) machine.
The deciding factor: The Veteran requires the use of a CPAP machine, which meets the criteria for a 50 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 6847.
