Thanks for the responses., As I stated, I have a IMO/nexus letter and I have listed my medication and Im sure they can see them since I get them from the VA. The letter I posted is basically telling me I filed the second time the wrong way. rentalguy1 I think I am going to re-file as a supplemental claim. If it is granted based on the 2018 claim , do they back date it to that or use the day I file the supplemental claim? Thanks again

Good afternoon folks I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2010 (after service) and in May of 2018 I submitted a claim for Sleep apnea and was denied (see attachment). I gave up because I could'nt show service connection and I just did'nt kn ow any better. I was again diagnosed with severe sleep apnea in Oct. 2022. By this time I had been rated 70% for PTSD that occurred while in service for incidents that happened prior to any sleep apnea diagosis. I got an IMO and submitted that for Sleep Apnea secondary to PTSD. I got a letter a couple of weeks later (see attached) saying I was previously denied sleep apnea and ai needed to submit my new claim on ba different form. My question is am I supposed to just submit a supplamental claim for the first filing for PTSD adding my new and relevant info? Im not sure how to proceed from here. Thanks scan_20231031161255.pdfAutomatedDecisionLetter.pdf

Good morning everyone, I just got rated at 70% for PTSD after previously being denied as not service connected. For the first claim, I was going through a company (VAclaimpros) which was a big mistake. I appealed and just simply told the examiner what I was going through as well as my family. I submitted a letter from my wife and a report from when I was Police Officer stating that I had PTSD and the list of medications. I have previously been denied claims for sleep apnea and tinnitus. They acknowledged that I did have sleep apnea from my personal medical records and the UPPP surgery I had years ago but said it was not service connected. They also acknowledged my hearing issues but said it was not service connected. I have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ED, Peyronie's disease (because of the ED), hypertension and insomnia from both private and VA doctors. I have been taking medicines for all three. I have sciatica My question is what should I file a secondary claim for or if I should even file one at all and leave well enough alone since I have 70%. Thank You

Evening. I need some answers. I submitted a claim for adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood and was denied the same day. Is that something that happens normally? What would cause this? Thank You
