Thank you to hadit, just found out the va rated me for 50% sleep apnea secondary to ptsd.

i believe the dbq from my sleep md with 3 recent medical journal articles and the imo from dr put me over the edge. I never had a sleep study on active duty but my platoon sgt wrote a letter about my snoring in the sandbox

thank you to all, never give up

Dfin, congrats!

  SA can cause CAD & PH (Pulmonary Hypertension). Stay locked and cocked, ready to file if a New DX pops. The PH DX could lead to an SA increase from 50 to 100%, your other SC's would make you SMC S (1) (Scheduler Housebound eligible).
