I just recently joined this site, and happy to see all the brother and sister here helping each other. Can someone please help me with my question. I just have few question about my claim, First, since I keep going in and see doctor for my headache, back pain, feet and other problems, now the doctor setting me up to see a doctor for Fibromyalgia, but I been told that if you have so many symptoms of Fibromyalgia ( that have already been SC) that the VA will group those individual ratings together for 1 rating. And the highest I can get for Fibromyalgia is 40%, is that true. Since my appointment is next week, should I cancel it? Second question, now the VA doctor treating me for sleep Apena, and I told the doctor it could be because of my headache and back pain that how I developed Sleep Apena, can I file that as a claim as
Secondary to my back pain and headache, if so, should I file it ASAP or wait until the appeal is done, but I'm thinking the appeal could takes years, I will be losing out all those money if I wait until then to file it.
