Granted
The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for a 50 percent rating for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was granted, with the effective date set to October 6, 2014.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's OSA warranted a 50 percent rating from October 6, 2014, based on the severity of symptoms and the use of a CPAP machine.
