Partly granted
The Veteran is granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to his service-connected disabilities, but the claims for an increased evaluation in excess of 10 percent for hypertension and for service connection for sleep apnea are denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's hypertension meets the criteria for a higher rating or that his sleep apnea is related to his military service.
