I have diagnosis of PTSD at 30%. I filed for sleep apnea as a secondary . I also have a Sleep Apnea diagnosis from the VA. the VA Psych told I would have to get a dr. outside the VA to write a letter stating they are related, she could not state that they are 'likely' related as that is a C&P statement.
I was denied the original filing about 3 months ago. The C&P examiner said 'less likely than not' related. Do I need a IMO from a psychologist, therapist, or sleep doctor. Does anybody know of any in the Baltimore Md area?
