Go and see an Electrophysiologist or EP doctor now. They put me on a medicine for that A Fib nad it works.

If you are asking about benefits, it does sound like you can file for COPD secondary to your SC conditions of A fib or apnea, depending on what your doc says. You can ask him. This could easily get you to 100%

submit your claim on a va fm 21-526ez, attach all medical documentation in support of your claim. The fully developed claim process is the way to go.

I would not use the 21-526b..
