Partly granted
The Veteran's PTSD is granted a higher initial rating of 70 percent, while the claim for a higher disability rating for obstructive sleep apnea with asthma is denied.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence supports the finding that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea with asthma has not been manifested by chronic respiratory failure or other severe symptoms warranting a higher rating.
