Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a disability rating greater than 60 percent for obstructive sleep apnea, to include asthma and sarcoidosis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an increased rating as the predominant respiratory condition was sarcoidosis which required systemic high dose corticosteroids but did not meet criteria for a higher rating under relevant diagnostic codes.
