Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a rating in excess of 50 percent for sleep apnea with hypersomnia and exercise induced bronchospasm, as well as entitlement to total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for the combined respiratory conditions or a finding that the veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment.
