Partly granted
The Veteran's asthma was granted an initial increased rating to 30 percent prior to May 16, 2023, but no higher and no earlier. The claim for a higher rating from May 16, 2023, was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's asthma symptomatology supported an initial 30 percent rating, but no higher, prior to May 16, 2023, due to daily inhalational bronchodilator therapy. From May 16, 2023, OSA was rated at 50 percent and remained the predominant disability.
