Partly granted
The Board denied a rating greater than 50 percent for service-connected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and remanded the claim for a rating greater than 20 percent for a service-connected lumbar condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's OSA more closely approximated a rating greater than 50 percent, while further examination was needed to evaluate the lumbar condition.
