Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for obstructive sleep apnea as the evidence did not show persistent daytime hypersomnolence or the use of a continuous airway pressure machine (CPAP).
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record does not show the Veteran has had hypersomnolence or used a CPAP machine during the period on appeal.
