So i just filed for Sleep Apnea but under the Sleep Disturbance secondary to PTSD route. This is what is showing.
What is "INC" and i am claiming SECONDARY TO and not INLCUDING, i am guess the INC is "Including" however if they consider it INCLUDING they wont rate it seperately and just put the PTSD and OSA symptoms together for one rating. I think they are trying to avoid the 50% given for CPAP and just include it in PTSD but keep the rating level the same.
