I filed PTSD and sleep disorder 2 years ago. I was granted for PTSD at 50%. Denied for Sleep disorder b/c of a lack of diagnosis. (What my decision letter says) My 1 year deadline is up on the 24th of February. I enlisted the help of a DAV VSO, who said that I could not appeal the sleep disorder denial, with my clinical diagnosis of "sleep apnea" because she said I had filed sleep disorder secondary to PTSD. And that they had taken my trouble sleeping into account when they granted my PTSD claim for 50%. She then explained that she would file a request for reconsideration of the "sleep disorder" claim and request that they reevaluate my claim because I should have filed for Sleep Apnea. My question is... What are the chances they will accept my request that they reevaluate my claim of sleep disorder as sleep apnea. I have a diagnosis from a MD who ordered a sleep study and prescribed a CPAP and I am certain that it is service connected. But what are the chances they will make the effective date of the decision the same as my PTSD claim?
