If you're asking me what the letter said. My Doctor looked at the sleep study results and then said in a short letter that is more likely then not that the my CSA was caused by my TBI. i had my wife send in a statement as well.

Yes ! They called my husband as well ! It was awesome bc the rep they called about was actually very unhelpful .

Ok the claims that he was going to put in for he has a zero percent for and they have gotten significantly worse . But yes I agree w that statement sometimes that can be the case. He will still be getting treatment for his service connected stuff prob for life . I am not sure yet if we got champ VA or ch 35 . We do have small Childern so I will def be looking to see if he is entitled to those benefits thank you .

Thank u so much everyone ! We are still in shock ! Just did a big trip to the grocery store . Nice to be able to stock up like we used to! I think he was around 93% before the apnea went through . We still have a couple of things that should be able to get rating increased so we will submit them so they can be on the back burner in case they try to drop any of his ratings he already has .

We heard back from the DAV . They are approving the rating at 50 percent which brings my hubby to 100 percent ! It does not go as far back as I feel it should but we will take it ! The claim is for sleep apnea. Thank you for all responses .

We got a letter from the DAV this weekend saying the case for sleep apnea has been approved at 50 % which will bring the rating to 100% thank god ! We have small Childern and I had to quit my career for my hubby's wellbeing . Although it will not retro back to the date I would like we are so greatful for the 100% I hope all of your guys cases move along quickly . Thank u for the info and support !

Hi all ! My hubby got news yesterday that his new combined rating is 100percent ! His sleep apnea was approved at 50 percent that brought him up to 100 !!! I will post more info later . Thank you for everyone who gave advice and encouragement . Keep fighting the good fight .

So awesome ! Do something that makes you feel happy ?

Yes hopefully it will be done for you soon .

You should get a lawyer . My hubby got approved I helped him gather all of his medical records then filled out the application very detailed listing many of his issues . I think I brought all of his medical records w us to the appointment . He was rated 90 percent through the VA when he applied. Sorry that it did not go through ! Hang in there ! Appeal it ! Thank u for your service .

So sorry to hear ! Wishing you health and wellness . Have you tried the DAV ? They have helped my husband a lot . Some of the workers are much more knowledgeable than others ...

Oh man ! Mark in Texas . I hope they get to u soon ! Did u send it to DC or local. ??? Oh man ! Mark in Texas . I hope they get to u soon ! Did u send it to DC or local. ???

Did it through the DAV . Asked the DRO to review it ( local ) we submitted a doctors note as well he had a firm medical opinion that my husbands case is combat related. It was filled in a timely matter.

I noticed as of right now E- bennifits is not updating" notice of disagreements" sept looks like the start date for that. How long has people's claims been taking that file a NOD ? Thanks so much -

Congrats !
