Partly granted
The veteran's request for a higher rating for asthma was denied, but service connection for sleep apnea related to asthma was granted.
The deciding factor: The decision on asthma was based on the lack of evidence showing symptoms warranting an increased rating; the decision on sleep apnea was based on establishing a nexus between the condition and service-connected asthma.
