Sleep Apnea

My remand required me to get a Compensation and Pension Exam. It was scheduled and I attended. I even showed up early and had filled out the five or six questions they wanted me to answer prior to coming to my scheduled exam. I retyped all of their questions and provided the answers to them on a separate sheets of paper. I put the font in bold and enlarged the pitch so it could be read easier. The examiner only asked me 2 questions and thanked me for typing my answers so they could be easily read. Remember this exam was for a remand for my Sleep Apnea appeal. Sleep studies had already been done, so I did not know how they were going to do a C&P based on Sleep Apnea. One question was "did I still use my CPAP Machine and I answered yes. The second question how it effected me for work. I told her that I sometime fell asleep at the wheel of my car once or twice before I arrived home. She said, well that's all I need and thanked me for coming it. This whole exam lasted less than 15 minutes. But when I finally got a copy of my results, I noticed that she wrote that it was "Less likely than not that my sleep apnea was caused by my service in the Navy. How can she do that after only 15 minutes or less? More importantly, when she sends my exam back to the BVA after completing their remand instructions, are they going to just go by what she wrote or take everything into account....my buddie letters, my family letters, doctor reports, sleep study results. I have been waiting since 2007 and 2013 for this. Any suggestions or speculations on how this will be played out?

Congratulations

I got a remand on my sleep apnea to reopen my claim. I was told it was at the Appeals Management Center in DC. First submitted for sleep apnea in 2007, again in October 2013 (when it was certified this time). Still waiting. My sleep apnea started in 1988, it was not mentioned in my medical records, because we did not know what sleep apnea was. What are my chances that they will grant it. I have lay letters from individuals who were sleeping in my area onboard ship and they wrote letters too.
