The Board’s assessment of the PEB rating determinations is confined to review of medical records and all available evidence for application of the Veterans Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) standards to the unfitting medical condition at the time of separation. There is no evidence in this case that OSA was associated with any functional impairment that was not corrected by CPAP. I have carefully reviewed the evidence of record and the recommendation of the Board.

Asthma Condition . VASRD §4.97 defines both PFT-derived criteria and clinical treatment criteria for rating under 6602.The remoteness of the available VA C&P examination justifies probative value given to the MEB examination and its single PFT obtained three months prior to separation. BOARD FINDINGS : IAW DoDI 6040.44, provisions of DoD or Military Department regulations or guidelines relied upon by the PEB will not be considered by the Board to the extent they were inconsistent with the...

The service treatment record (STR) initially reflected that the CI wasbeing worked-up for a respiratory condition noting the first of many spirometry/pulmonary function tests (PFTs) dated 28 August 2002.
