Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an increased disability rating in excess of 60 percent for a lung disability, characterized as COPD with vertigo and sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating due to the Veteran's lung function test results and the fact that his condition has not worsened significantly since the last evaluation.
