Does VA Doc writeup provide service connection

[Tazinhawaii]

So, I've had sleep apnea since around 2001/2002 when I was in the Navy (Retired in 2012).  I was never diagnosed with it though, only insomnia.  I finally went and got a sleep study done which confirmed OSA and was prescribed a CPAP through the VA.  I was thinking I could never service connect it, but the VA doctor put in my record that I've had the symptoms since 2002/2003.  Specifically he wrote "he reports that his wife has been listening to his loud snoring and observing his apneas since at least 2002 or 2003."

 

So do you think this is enough to get service connection?  I served from 1989-2012.

 

Thanks,

Derrick

how would a vet use this as evidence to S.A.?

A qualified Dr would need to nexus the two as to what caused the S.A....Night mares? PTSD Medications? PTSD Symptoms ect,,,ect,,? &Diagnose of S.A. & Prescribe C-PAP by VA.

I heard of veterans have all this but still get denied for OSA/S.A.

I have traumatic brain injury service connected, but I'm not sure obstructive SA can be linked to that.  No PTSD or anything like that.  I was a submariner so we fired but wasn't fired upon.
