Hi folks,
I asked my Dr for a nexus letter. He complied. So I thought. He made a note in my chart, that I have forwarded to my VSO.
In the section of my notes under "History of Present Illness" the Dr noted...
"Patient reports that OSA symptoms began while he was in active military service, while serving in the Army. He believes that his symptoms were present, but were at the time attributed to PTSD and depression. I HAVE REVIEWED SEVERAL SERVICE MEDICAL RECORDS THAT ALLUDE TO SLEEPINESS AND UNREFRESHING SLEEP AT THAT TIME."
Then in the assessment portion of my chart he wrote.
"I beleive it is as likely as not the pt had sleep apnea while he was in the Army."
My question is... Is this strong enough to link my Sleep Apnea to service for disability rating?
