Question

I hate to ask this question of you all but I really need help with this question. I am trying to help a Vietnam Vet that is in my Monday morning group. Can Sleep apena be SC secoundery to PYSD? He is currently rated at 30 percent for PTSD and lo w balled on type 2 diabeties and prosate cancer for 60 percent total. We are going to ask for a increase in the diabeties and the prosate cancer but if we can win the sleep apena it schould be a slaim dunk for IU.

Thanks in advance for any help anybody can give

V/R

You would have to get a doctor to create a nexus between apnea and either PTSD or diabetes. I am 50% for PTSD and 20% for diabetes, 80% total with other little ones in there with recently diagnosed apnea and on a cpap, and I have not really found any good literature for a nexus between either of them. I look forward to following this thread in case someone found something that I havent!
