Socar65 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Congrats on your approval!! I am in year 2 of my fight. I was wondering how/why the heck it took soooo long to become sc'd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socar65 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Charles, I think I would like the contact info. I am having a heck of a time getting sc'd. It's been 2 years. My sleep study was dne and it's results posted but VA still denied. In the process to claim secondary for sleep ap with a CPAP, as I am currently getting compensation for asthma and hypertension. I filed, when I retired in 2005 claiming OBA (obstructive Breathing Airways) so any help would be much appreciated. I to, no buddy letters have/had the serious LOUD snoring and gasping.

silverdollar22 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I got my SA service connected by claiming it secondary to my depression and medication. My civilian doctor did an IMO & DBQ that gave medical evidence of how depression and anxiety medication can cause sleep apnea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverdollar22 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) First, do you have a diagnosis for sleep apnea? Second, I found it easier to claim secondary, rather than trying to claim that it occurred while in service. I was a very loud snorer while in the service and probably had it then but, I have been researching and it seemed almost impossible to service connect while in service (JMHO).
