Opinion On Sleep Apnea Claim

[jdogg2022]

filed my claim in July of 2013 for sleep apnea nothing started going anywhere until Feb 2014 when I was called from va to let me know they had set up a appointment to see the va comp doctor I met with her today and she went through my file and was able to see I was sent to docs while in service and that all of my write ups were because of sleeping I was discharged in 2003 just 3 weeks of fulfilling my 4 years and got a honorable under General within a year of being discharged I went to my doctor and was correctly diagnosed and given a cpap I didn't even think of filling until last year do you think I could win my claim I'm a little nervous about it all also I signed releases for all my medical doctors but for some reason they were not in my file that was sent to the comp doc so now I'm dealing with that any opinions would be great thanks

I had a night and day study of my OSA recently. If I don't take my Provigil I will get sleepy during the day and end up sleeping for two hours. The VA would not prescribe Provigil for me, but my private insurance would do it. I found that by using mail order program I could get 90 days of Provigil for $10. If you buy it retail it would be a couple of hundred dollars. I think that when I was in the army the dx of OSA did not even exist.
