Can someone tell me when sleep apnea was added to the schedular? Although I'm convinced I most likely had it when I was still active, I don't think anyone had heard of in 1991 so was never diagnosed. I was just turned down for a separate rating for high blood pressure (a separate issue for another topic soon) because the separate rating was added in 1998 after my time in service. This led me to wonder if this affects sleep apnea claims. FTR, I was diagnosed w/ SA several years ago and never bothered to try to claim it due the length of time and the VA's such helpful attitude. The VA did cover my CPAP machine, so they do help some.
