sleep apnea 50%""" back pain severve 40% at most

[RUREADY]

I have nothing wrong with the ones already getting the benefit

of you snoring while on active duty  but most of us was already

snoring when you started in high school, drinking & hanging but want VA

to pay you 50% for something everyone have after drinking and partying overnight

This rating sucks & need changes because now every vet files this now before retiring

and after they retire getting buddy statements and been snoring all their life before military

I have a cpap was it from meds I take or the liquor  I drink. VA pays for this but a man who lost

a leg in combat HE got to prove he lost that leg and where it was lost at. SAY U SNORE while active

50% . bull jmho

you guys should read first before running off at the mouth

you read stuff I didn't write then you say I'm wrong about rating

This what I DO research any and everything before I run my mouth

don't believe everything u hear research it

50% rating: This rating will have the majority of the following circumstances and symptoms:

The Ability to Care for Yourself: This individual is occasionally hospitalized, but can mostly take care of the basic personal needs like bathing or going to the bathroom, although their personal hygiene may not be kept up regularly. They may also be able to function in areas like shopping, driving, cleaning, etc.

Medications: This individual requires psychiatric medication at all times.

Symptoms: Some or all of the following symptoms will be present.

– Trouble expressing or showing emotions (This doesn’t mean that they are just reserved. It basically means that they are completely blank the majority of the time), or shows the wrong or inappropriate emotion for the situation
– Always shows significant signs of anxiety
– Regularly gives unnecessary or unrelated details when communicating
– Two or more panic attacks a week
– Trouble understanding complex directions
– Trouble remembering things (forgetting to complete tasks, etc.)
– Trouble thinking logically and often has poor judgment
– A serious lack of, or a seriously increased, mood or motivation
– Occasional delusions or hallucinations
– Regular to nightly trouble sleeping (nightmares, insomnia, anxiety, etc.)
– Complaints of physical symptoms, like pain, that do not have a physical cause
– Suicidal thoughts, but no definite plan to hurt himself

The Ability to Work: This individual may try to work, but will not be able to hold a job for more than 3 or 4 months because of their inability to remember or follow all directions or other similar reasons based on the symptoms or circumstances described under this rating. (In other words, they wouldn’t lose their job simply because they have anger issues and would regularly get in fights. A person like that could also not hold a job more than 3 or 4 months, but they would still be considered able to work). This individual would only be hired for jobs like cleaning, picking up trash, or other simple-task jobs.

Social Relationships: Like his ability to work, this individual may try to build and engage in relationships, but these relationships would not last long in most situations. Divorce or other breaks in relationships and friendships could occur due to his inability to properly participate in a relationship.

Problem found; maybe more communicating and less "run my mouth".

ruready your posts don't make a lot of sense to me. you post something than someone comments on it than you edit the post than you insult folks by telling them not to run their mouth. 

i don't know what you are trying to accomplish. if you want to file a claim and need advice on that please be specific, if you want to ramble on please go somewhere else.

ruready -

what is your question? Do you want opinions on whether you should you go for sa secondary to insomnia?

Sleep Apnea can either be a anatomical or neurological situation and has nothing to do with snoring.

Due to anatomical reasons narrowed breathing space, structure of nose, uuvala size, neck circumference, etc.

All of these things attribute in the body taking in air during rest.

Neurological situations are when the brain impulses are vacated and the body temporarily stops breathing during the night.

Snoring really has nothing to do with sleep apnea.

The reason why its service connected is because most people with sleep apnea have anatomical deficiencies which probably had its origins on active duty.

We have to stop this mindset that people are trying to get over when they file a claim.

We should be encouraging all veterans to file claim claims which can be substantiated by medical evidence.
