Hello fellow vets,
As adviced by a VN Vet in Y2004, didn't realized that I was qualified for compensation due to my AO exposure which affected my health for decades now. Was too tied up w/ career, family, & others. So, I began...
Campaign tour: 1966-1967 in the VN central highlands. 4th Inf. Div; Combat Engr. & Infantry support. Was exposed to AO(fields, missions, LZ's, base camp & outside perimeter burning, etc).
>40% SC due to DM-II
>Now appealing for my Hypertension which i've had for few decades now. Scratching my head on this one why denied originally?
Additionally: (Reevaluation for service connected disability rating)
> Applying for Tinnitus & this Sleep Apnea
Has anyone been granted w/ compensation for having Sleep Apnea(from AO days)? From my end, I believe that it was a long term effect also from having both DM-II and Hypertension deceases. Gain some weight too. Mine is severe that I have been using CPAP mask/machine for 5 years now. BTW, wife can sleep better now too! Prior to CPAP, I suffered from her & former girlfriend's elbowing. Funny, but it's true.
Any advice on OSA(Obstructive Sleep Apnea) from Agent Orange exposure days will be appreciated. I am doing all the processing on my own with the VA RO. It does take time!
Good bless, and thanks in advance for your reply!
