I agree with sailorman-------your a friggin IDIOT.

[Has Anyone Been Approved Of Sleep Apnea Claim Lately?]

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.

[Rom Results For Ankle.]

I just got the results back from my C&P exam. Can someone tell me about what percentage I should be for this ankle injury according to the 38CFR.

I am a little confused at what the rating should be.

Right Dorsiflexion; 0 to 12 degrees

Right Plantar Flexion: 0 to 15 degrees

[Ideas For Writing A Good Buddy Letter]

date time,rank,mos, service number ,recall of events, snoring,restlessness,breathing problems,events leading up to and before incident causing the sleep apnea.you must also tell what placed this individual in your vicinity to witness,such as room mate,spouse etc.. this must be signed and certified{notary}

MUST CONTAIN "I SWEAR THE ABOVE FACTS ARE TRUE TO MY KNOWLEDGE"this must end the statement...or they will ignore

I do not believe it has to be notarized. Where does it state that in the regs?
