Question
abhusal
Hello everyone,
Under Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) Program, I filed claim for PTSD, Short Term Memory Loss, and Unspecified Sleep Disorder. I had C&P only with VA contracted Mental Health Provider. I never had C&P for the unspecified sleep disorder claim. I was awarded 30 % for service connection for anxiety disorder NOS (also claimed as short memory loss and sleeping disorder). Symptoms (reported to physicians and documented) related to sleep disorder while in service continued after discharge and documented well on VA medical record. After 5 years discharged from service, I had sleep study and diagnosed as Sleep apnea (ICD-9-CM 780.57). I am using APAP now.
My concern is: With same symptoms in service continued after discharge and diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. When I filed a claim for sleep disorder 5 years ago, if VA had conducted sleep study on me, I would have diagnosed with Sleep Apnea while in-service. VA failed to do it.
Isn’t it a CUE?
