Granted
The Board granted an initial 50 percent rating for obstructive sleep apnea, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that management of the Veteran's OSA required the use of a CPAP machine during the period on appeal, which met the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 6847.
