Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent disability rating for the psychiatric disorder since November 7, 2023 and denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a 50 percent rating due to occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity after resolving all doubt in favor of the Veteran, but not higher as there was no evidence of deficiencies in most areas or worse during this period.
