Partly granted
The Veteran was granted an effective date of May 11, 2022, for the TDIU and denied a higher rating for OSA.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show chronic respiratory failure with carbon dioxide retention or cor pulmonale, nor that the Veteran required a tracheostomy for his OSA.
