Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an evaluation greater than 50 percent for obstructive sleep apnea as there was no evidence of chronic respiratory failure with carbon dioxide retention, cor pulmonale, or the need for a tracheostomy.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing chronic respiratory failure with carbon dioxide retention, cor pulmonale, or the need for a tracheostomy.
