I have a 100% disability rating, non-permanent. I was diagnosed with pre-glaucoma, and also was referred to a sleep apnea doctor while on active duty, and are noted in my medical records. These two issues where not on my initial claim when I retired. I have since been diagnosed and with both (Glaucoma and sleep apnea). I am hesitant to submit a claim for either, fearing it my somehow reduce my rating (VA horror stories). What would your guidance be?

100% Disability rating (Permanent vs. non-permanent)

Is there a published list of disabilities considered permanent? -
100% Disability rating (Permanent vs. non-permanent)
SFOB posted a question in VA Disability Claims Research
I received my compensation letter notifying me that I am 100% disabled, but not permanent. I must have a review 5 years from the date of rating. Why would I get a non-permanent rating when my combined disability percentage equals 310, 280 of which are service connected? I am over 50 years old at the time the rating was given. Should I (How?) pursue getting the status changed to permanent or just wait until the five year period is over.
