Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for sleep apnea with asthmatic bronchitis, to include a separate rating for asthmatic bronchitis.
The deciding factor: Based on the severity of the Veteran's sleep apnea and asthma, a higher rating was not warranted as there was no evidence showing chronic respiratory failure or daily use of systemic corticosteroids or immuno-suppressive medications.
