Well I went on Ebenefits and I my Sleep Apnea secondary to PTSD was not service connected. Will be filing a NOD and hopefully will receive a better outcome.

Just found out the RO scheduled an ACE exam for my claim on 16 October. Does anyone know if an ACE exam is a good thing?

Thanks for the information. I am already rated 50 percent PTSD and did file the SA claim seperately. Just found it odd not to be scheduled for a C&P. I will keep everyone posted on the progress.

I applied for Sleep Apnea secondary to PTSD (Aggravation). I submitted a FDC on 9/17/17 with the following evidence Nexus Letter provided by my VA doctor stating " it is more likely than not Mr. xxxxx Sleep Apnea aggravates his PTSD and his PTSD aggravates his Sleep Apnea". DBQ filled out from my VA Pulmonologist stating "Veterans PTSD and Sleep Apnea is at least additive" VA Sleep Study showing Dx of Severe Sleep Apnea. Evidence showing prescribed CPAP from VA Statement in Support of Claim from Wife, and fellow NCO I served with observing my symptoms. 2 Studies providing link of Sleep Apnea and PTSD in returning Iraq/Afghanistan Veteran On Ebenefits my claim status went from Under Review to Preperation for decision without a C&P Exam scheduled. My question, is it possible I provided enough evidence to grant my claim? Or it is just being denied very quickly?

Congrats!!
