  1. Hello all I could use some guidance, I'm OIF and OEF veteran with 70% service connection for PTSD. I recently filed a claim after the VA diagnosed me with severe sleep apnea. The C&P examiner never even called me for my telephone interview. I thought I was good to go. Than I got denied. In the decision letter, the C&P doctor said my sleep apnea was less likely than not proximately due to my service connected disability. Favorable findings: my primary disability is service connected, I have a diagnosis of sleep apnea, and evidence shows that a qualifying event or injury had its onset during service. IE treatment/complaint of snoring. I didn't use a nexus letter from a private doctor or buddy statements for this claim. The evidence for this claim was my service medical records, my DD214, and my VA medical records. QUESTIONS I HAVE: What should I do? File a new claim or a supplemental claim I am also service connected for GERD and Rhinitis, should I resubmit a claim using these two conditions along side that of PTSD? Can I add these service connected disabilities as evidence to a supplemental claim? Should I file for direct Service Connection since my service records show I have a qualifying event in Service? Thank you in advance for any advice or guidance and thank you for taking the time to read this.
