Thanks. Here is the situation, I was interviewed by phone by a VA psychologist who wrote a diagnosis of all things, nightmares but ruled out that it was PTSD. On the 21st I have an appointment with another psychologist for sleep disturbances. I have sleep apnea and use a cpap through civilian doctor in 2012, I did not file with VA on this because my VSO said that since I was not treated for this in the military it would not be granted. I am SC for tinnitus and it is constant Even though I use a cpap machine every night I still can not get more than 4 to 5 hours of sleep and do good to make the 70% requirement for usage. I see that sleep disturbance is listed as a later developing disability for Desert Storm veterans, which I am. I am currently rated at 70% in which none are related to sleep issues or mental health. Thank you for your information.
