Not none of my issues are rated above 30% that are currently service connected
I have been working on getting my Sleep Apnea secondary to one of a few items that "could" be causing it.
I first tried Gerd, and the claim was quickly denied.
I then submitted in late Nov, 2014 it could be associated to my depression (somatic disorder) and/or meds prescribed by the VA for my multi issues that is service connected.
This week E-Benefits have allot of movement in regards to this claim. Yesterday evening, I noticed the claim was finished and my notification was in the mail. Other than that, that is all I could find out last night from E-Benefit's.
This morning, I checked again with no real thoughts of seeing anything as of yet.
My sleep apnea last night was as follows:
Sleep Apnea/50%/non-service connected
This morning it showing the "arrow" to indicate now its secondary to my Somatic Disorder.
BUT, it does not give the percentage nor does it say the needed "service-connected"... so now I wait for snail-mail on pin and needles to see what they actually have to say! Crossed fingers and praying.
If approved I will be at least 90% service-connected. The only thing that could possibly prevent me from being TDIU now is the fact I am still on the "rolls" for my last place of work. This is only because I do not roll off the rolls till a little later this year, and till forced to come off the rolls I will not remove myself from the roll. Reason being is my children have insurance while I am on the rolls, and have no other insurance.
I should qualify for the 40% (sleep apnea 50%) with above the 70% overall rule for TDIU. I have it in black in white from them in my previous claims stating that I am unemployable, but since I am still on the "rolls", that I believe will keep me from TDIU. We will see what happens one item at a time.
