Mike,

What info did they have for your sleep apena?

Were you active, what was your nexus??

Thanks

I was active duty and had an overnight sleep study administered. Diagnosed with a moderate case of sleep apena. Dr. prescribed the CPAP, tricare paid for it while I was still active.

i didn't know about sleep apena until I went to the doc complaining about being tired all the time, fatigued and unexplained weight gain. Wife always told me I would stop breathing in my sleep, so I told the doc.

Went through EENT and cardiopulmonary, took about 6 months to complete the loop.

I just received my rating 70% recently. Sleep Apena was the largest portion of the rating (50%) with four other claims at 10% each for the combined rating of 70%.

I don't think I fully understand the CDRP and how it works. Will I receive an additional payment from VA or DFAS? VA told be that's a DFAS program. When I called DFAS I was told to wait 60 days and refer to my RAS.

I was under the assumption, based on what I read on various websites that I'm entitled to a graduated disability payment (phase in until 2014?) in addition to my retirement pay.

Does anyone know the how it really works?

Looking for help.
