I will know in the next 60-90 days if mine was awarded. I did mention I had trouble sleeping while in service and marked the box on seperation exam that says frequent trouble sleeping.
I shared a room with the same guy for 40 months and he wrote a very detailed 5 page letter how my sleep changed in those 40 months. He explained how I was gasping for air, excessively snoring, very irriatble, morning headaches and constantly tired.
I did hire a medical doctor to review all my military medical records, civillian records, pharmacy records for medication, sleep study reports and all my buddie and family statements and wrote me a very nice IMO letter linking SA to service.
I had a c&p exam 2 weeks ago and doctor stated that she could not make a decision for onset of SA due to mere speculation. She did make note the IMO letter and all the Buddie statements.
I got out of service in 1987 and nobody knew about SA back then.
You got to get your ducks lined up in my opinion-to become sucessful with this.
I don't have a clue which way mine will go.
