Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and remanded a claim for service connection for a lower back disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the veteran's psychiatric conditions or obstructive sleep apnea warranted higher ratings, as they did not result in total occupational and social impairment. The lower back disability was remanded for further development.
