Began having symptoms of sleep apnea towards the end of my time on AD. My wife began to complain about snoring, etc. About 1 month before I separated I went to my military primay care physician about this. We talked about it--he said that he was certain I was experiencing obstructive sleep apnea and that I needed to have a study done. He tried to get me an appoint but the soonest was about three months after I was already going to be separated. So that was that.
After getting out I had the study done by a civ provider about six months after separation (I went a primary care physician right after getting out but the earliest I could get a study appt was that long.) Anyway, the diagnosed me having obstructive sleep apnea and needing a CPAP machine. At that time (January 07) I filed for compensation with the VA. With my application I included a letter of one person that served with me that could attest to my sleep issues and one of course from my wife.
Any opinions on whether or not this will suffice for SC nexus?
