Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an increased rating for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the evidence did not support a rating greater than 50 percent.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's sleep apnea caused chronic respiratory failure with carbon dioxide retention, cor pulmonale, or tracheostomy.
