I just recently received notice from the VA on my new rating of 80%, a bump of 10% from the previous 70%. While my claim was being processed the VA diagnosed me with sleep apnea . I'm considering filing for sleep apnea as secondary to PTSD. What would be the best way to do this? I want to start the claim before the end of the year and was going to use my E Benifits account to file. Any information would be greatly appreciated . My ratings are 50% PTSD,40% hearing,10% tinnitus,10% scars. Anyone have personnel experience with this type of claim? Any suggestions to links that would supply more information? Thanks.

A 50% SA SC would get you to 90%, so file the claim, yesterday. With that said, SA claims as Secondary to PTSD are very difficult to prosecute, expect and plan on a Denial. Look over the 12 or so list
