Secondary SA to PTSD- Approved but...

I appreciate you translating the government lingo. I had no prior conditions prior to service. I will file a NOD. Thanks! -
Secondary SA to PTSD- Approved but...
ayala posted a question in PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Claims
I have been diagnosed with PTSD and rated at 70%. Recently Sleep Apnea was approved as a secondary condition. BUT there was no rating increase. The decision states -"We have assigned a 50 percent evaluation for SA" . I do use a CPAP machine. But then it states - "An aggravated evaluation of 0 percent is assigned. When added with the pre-exisiting 50 percent, this disability meets the criteria for the 50 percent evaluation". Can anyone decode this? What is the pre-exisiting 50 percent? My PTSD is rated at 70 percent two years ago. Thanks!
