I say white I think they are white now instead of the Brown ones they use to send out. If you use a C-Pap That don't automatically give you 50% !!! you will need plenty of medical documentation from qualified Dr's stating the secondary is likely as not the reason you have sleep apnea from the medications you take (go into details) and also a Qualified Dr must state in his/her report that the C-pap IS MEDICALLY NECESSARY for you to use for your Health. Yes Sir, Doctor told me he has tied this to current conditions and more likely than not this was caused by my service time and stated that a CPAP is necessary. So, I guess I will wait and see how this overall appeal comes out.... The VA also combined this sleep apnea with an increase for my wrist and shoulder so hopefully this total appeal is positive.

Do you have an in-service diagnosis for Sleep Apnea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
