[No C&P for Secondary claim]

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.

[No C&P for Secondary claim]

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.

 

 

[No C&P for Secondary claim]

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?
