ltate90 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 PETE53, ACCORDING TO THE VA HERE IN COLUMBIA,SC THEY HAVE 2500 ON THE LIST FOR CPAP'S AND I WILL NOT GET MINE UNTIL NEXT YEAR. ACCORDING TO THEM, THEY ONLY ISSUE 25-30 A WEEK. BUT EVENTUALLY I WILL GET MINE ONEDAY. I SPOKE TO ONE OF MY FRIENDS AND HE SAID THAT THE VA WILL PROBALY SAY NO TO SERVICE CONNECTED SINCE THE SLEEP APNEA DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THE SERVICE. THANKS FOR THE INFO PETE.
