Sleep apnea denied
in Entitlement - Veterans Compensation Benefits Claims
Posted
I was denied sleep apnea because i had no proof it occurred in service ( i was diagnosed with OSA 23 days after i ets'd thats not suffice time to develop sleep apnea) and the case was closed a year later since i didn't submit a appeal ( i was oblivious as to how appeals and everything worked). I tried once more and was denied because i had new evidence but nothing saying or showing it was in service. I was told a year after ets date is considered in service but vso's tell me that not true. Im researching cases online and iv'e seen people get sleep apnea four years after getting out and i also have buddy statements to send because i am appealing it. Any help i can get on this is greatly appreciated.
