It looks like my battle with the VA has finally come to an end. I never gave up fighting. I was recently granted service connection for Obstructive Sleep Apnea at 50% at the regional office level. This now puts me at a combined "90% Schedular with TDIU." That was the last claim that I had pending with the VA. The VA has also sent me several additional forms with my award letter that I was not expecting. These forms are as follows: 1. VA Form 21-8760: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR VETERANS WITH SERVICE-CONNECTED PERMANENT AND TOTAL DISABILITY 2. VA Form 22-5490: DEPENDENTS’ APPLICATION F

Congratulations! Most decisions, rather than come right out and say "You are permanent and Total", use phrases like "No additional exams are scheduled", and more importantly, "Entitlement to DEA Chapter 35 benefits are established." Dont forget your additional benefits you "may" not have thought of: 1. Champva for your spouse. This is a big deal, high quality health insurance for your spouse at no charge. 2. College for your kids. Im showing $1265 per month for each of your kids for college: https://www.military.com/education/money-for-school/dependents-educationa
