Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for unspecified anxiety disorder, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and right lower extremity radiculopathy, as well as a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the severity of the conditions warranted a higher rating than assigned during the relevant periods.
