There are now multiple ratings for Sleep Apnea, apparently. The old way was CPAP required = 50% rating.
Now you can be evaluated with a lesser condition of Apnea.
- 100 percent: chronic respiratory failure with carbon dioxide retention or cor pulmonale; or requires tracheostomy
- 50 percent: requires use of breathing assistance device such as continuous airway pressure (CPAP) machine
- 30 percent: persistent daytime hypersomnolence
- 0 percent: asymptomatic, but with documented sleep disorder breathing
