Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a 50 percent rating for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) from February 6, 2019, to June 12, 2019, but the claim for an increased rating of more than 50 percent was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's OSA required use of a CPAP machine and he had persistent daytime hypersomnolence from February 25, 2019, which warranted a 50 percent rating under the applicable criteria.
