[adkins7b]

I was approved for sleep apnea service connected had a 2004 sleep stuyd schedule got scared they would kick me out backed out.. 2008 finally got it done told them about anger outburst anxiety depression diagnosed sleep apnea..

served us navy 1999-2010 honorable 1999-2006 2006-2010 OTH ban to benefits yes tried to upgrade not going to happen.

They approved the sleep apnea based on honorable period thank god, but can I claim the depression and anxiety as seconday conditions any help would be appreciated.

I am appealing the denial but want to file FDC while appeal is going, I am bipolar and just had a total break down and they kicked me out. Not going into details and I have tried to point it out they don't care.

Thanks for the help.

I appalagize for jumping around and not making sense, i'm on so many meds and this stuff is hard and the VSo out here are not worth a dam.

I got approved july 2013 sleep apnea but havent gotten the nerve or my mind together to go to dav or get a lawyer.. my mind most days can't figure this out. Hell can't get out of bed alot of days..lol

i applied for an upgrade 2 years ago i'll have to look at paper work, I called a few lawers I think they wanted 10k and couldnt guarentee an upgrade.. I'm currently living in NOrfolk VA. If anyone knows of one for maybe 5k it would be worth it but 10 seemed a little crazy and I didnt have it.

No lawyer should be telling you it will cost you 10 K right out the gate.

You might want to give Bergmann and Moore a call to evaluate your case.
