Benm there is really no way we can do this because you need to look up your issues and compare them to the schedule for rating disabilities title 38 cfr part 4. You then need to know exact on each condition as it relates to you.

Item 11 and 17 will be rated as 1 condition as they will not rate both as it is called pyramiding of 2 issues on the same system. Lumbar and Thoracic spine are considred the same.

Hi Bmurp,

From what I was told, as I have obstructive Sleep apnea as well, is that due to the nature of the CPAP needing to have the tubes replaced every 6 months or so, this automatically warrants a 50% rating so you are insured for your SC disabilities. Whether or not this is true I don't know. I do know I recieved a 50% rating for Sleep Apnea first try.
