Questions About Secondary Conditions

Question

Anyone have experience with this situation?...

My major disability is lumbar spine 40%. I have secondary issues I've filed for including Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Major Depressive Disorder.

Now, I'm medically retired for my SC condition and some other problems. (They SHOULD have been SC, but I got denied way back when, am now trying to re-open them.)

Will VA deny and try to tell me that Sleep Apnea and Depression are secondary to other issues besides my SC problems? I have pretty strong nexus letters from private PCP doctors, saying caused by SC lumbar spine disability.

Should I drop all of my claims and just focus on re-opening?

I wish I could get a VSO, but there aren't any good ones to choose from locally.

Thanks for the input, yall.

I do have a sleep study, actually two of them, and I am on C-PAP. I see a Psych RN and a counselor at the VA clinic here.

I guess I'll see what happens next.
