Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a separate rating for obstructive sleep apnea, stating that separate ratings for service-connected obstructive sleep apnea, allergic rhinitis, and bronchial asthma are not permitted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is her predominant respiratory system disability, entitling her only to a single 50 percent rating for her service-connected sleep apnea with allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma.
