LHI doing C & P Exam

[navyguy357]

I have an appt with LHI to do my C & P exam for my two claims: 1. Service connected restrictive lung disease, claiming worsening for sleep apnea and 2. Hypertension also service connected, claiming worsening

What can I expect at this exam? Although I am service connected for restrictive lung disease, I am claiming sleep apnea because I have two sleep studies with diagnosed as obstructive sleep apnea, one is with VA and they prescribed me a CPAP that I am using now. Also on my decision letter it states that I claimed sleep apnea while in service but they gave me restrictive lung disease service connected.

My hypertension is service connected with a prescription prescribed while in service and it has worsened.

How about posting redacted copies of your MSR that addresses the Sleep and snoring issues including the referral for the In-Service Sleep Study?

An SA 50% Award = serious $$$, consider spending $150.00 to see a Non-VA Sleep Specialist, preferably a Board Certified Neurologist that specializes in Adult SA. A couple local Vets that I pointed towards my SA Dr., left his office after the 1st visit with Clinician Notes addressing the likely Nexus of their SA. His "Treatment Notes from my 1st appointment, got my Secondary Award on the first try in 2012.
