0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted November 5, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 5, 2015 I think they can Andyman but not sure but this veteran needs to be on a c-pap asap reguardless of a claim.I am still wating on my sleep study results from the choice card provider, my SA nurse called me last night and ask if I had my sleep studdy done with the private provider on the 13th Oct..I said yes mam I sure did, she said well did they give you the results/ I said no mam she said they should have already contacted the VA She said she will call them to find out why they have not sent the VA my sleep study results...I cough and said Pleaseeee Do.Not meaning to change the subject or hi-jack this thread but does any one know what all the VA-20 has in them? are they supposed to have all your US Army RECORDS,Marines,Navy and Air Force in them including all medical and service records..with the exception of hospitalization those records I understand will be sent from that Hospital unless the Hospital is closed down then they send the records to an archive place like St Louis , Mo for dry and safe keeping. I am not an Attorney or VSO, any advice I provide is not to be construed as legal advice, therefore not to be held out for liable BUCK!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 USMC_VET Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I use my CPAP every night! Too scared of the alternative!they just DX'd me at the VA for Sleep Apnea (oct 29) and im waiting to hear back to go and get the CPAP fitted. I know my wife will appreciate it!I knew i had it, so i have been compiling evidence, medical journals, etc to try and get it secondary to PTSD. I know it will be a hard fight without any DX in service. i only have statements from buddies saying i snored loudly. 70% - PTSD ->50% - OSA (Secondary to PTSD) 30% - Bilateral Pes Planus w/Plantar Fasciitis 30% - Migraines 10% - Tinnitus 20% - Back 0% - bilateral shin splints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Andyman73 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I just read my exam notes from Tuesday's MH C&P, and while the doc wasn't too favorable in my direction, he did note chronic sleep impairment. And that I told him I have SA, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
