Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 10 percent for idiopathic hypersomnia and remanded the issue of entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service connected disabilities (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's idiopathic hypersomnia did not manifest in one major seizure in the last two years or two minor seizures in the last six months, thus not meeting the criteria for a higher rating.
