Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for the veteran's right ankle and lumbar spine disabilities but remanded the claim for service connection for sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence of record at the time of the May 2022 rating decision, which did not support an increased rating.
