Granted
The Veteran's service-connected obstructive sleep apnea and chronic kidney disease render him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation consistent with his education, skill, and training.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experiences significant sleep deprivation at night due to his conditions, resulting in chronic daytime fatigue that impairs his ability to concentrate, complete tasks, and maintain focus. These factors make it difficult for him to perform even sedentary occupations.
