Question
Fat
My gym buddy was recently service connected for Sinusitis at 10%.
He was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea back in 2008.
The sleep apnea is not service connected.
He now wants to get the Sleep Apnea service connected secondarily to the Sinusitis.
Can he get the Sleep Apnea secondarily connected even though it was diagnosed before the Sinusitis.
