My sleep Apnea/secondary to ptsd claim was opened and closed in less than two todays. From what I can gather the VA used the ACE process (I never had a c&p) The doctor used a sleep study conducted in 2012 to make a determination for a claim filed in Dec 2015. I also noted some statements in the DBQ that are not factual such as Im not on any sleep meds (I have been since 2010 provided by the VA) The Doctor also mentioned I don't take meds for ptsd which is not the case I have since 2005. The Doctor also stated the sleep study mentioned that I have a large when in fact the study makes no mention of my next size at all. I should mention the claim was combined with an ED claim which was decided in my favor. I just find it hard to believe the VA gave the sleep Apnea a good look considering they decided the claim faster than I can get my shirts dry cleaned.

I would have to disagree with the wait and wonder approach. Position in wait-line for a DRO or BVA Hearing is NOD file date sensitive. With a DRO Hearing, you'll have plenty of time to get your New &a
