burghpitts Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Has this ever happened? An active duty member diagnosed with sleep apnea andprescribed a CPAP machine while on active duty. Then the VA not compensate them for it when they get out? Just curious Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted August 31, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 31, 2010 If you can, remove your personal info and scan this decision. I wouls live to see it as it is a total farce. The only way they could do this is for you not to have chronicity of the condition now. If not, then this is just part of the game. They didnt read your records. Nod the decision and ask for reconsideration. I know this sounds bad, but believe me this is not as bad as some of the decisions I have seen.

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted August 31, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 31, 2010 I don't see how a Veteran who was prescribed a CPAP Machine and diagnosed for sleep apnea could be denied by VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
