Appointment for C&P Exam

[gba]

Had DRO hearing for Sleep Apnea secondary to PTSD (70%) in 2015. Claim sent to BVA in 2016. Invited to RAMP this year. Completed claim but recognized duty to assist was not included.  Last month, I received a call from VA hospital informing

me of a scheduled C&P appointment with a doctor from the regional office. I have a VA supplied C p machine. I had three sleep studies at the VA and a letter from a private sleep therapist DR. Anyone familiar with the procedure involving sleep apnea

C&P.

thank you

Your going to need a nexus From a Qualified Dr connecting it to your military service to get S.C. Established , Unless you have a Secondary that is S.C. in relation to OSA??

The VA won't deny you have sleep apnea  but you have to prove you had some type of sleep disturbance while in the military, or you have another s.c. disability that is related to or  cause you to get OSA (Sleep Apnea) this would be a secondary claim to sleep apnea. 

Sleep study's and a c-pap machine  is not enough to get service connection for sleep apnea

VA is really cracking down on the evidence too for Sleep Apnea Claims.

I understand. Just a Question.No expectations. The VA cannot/should not make decisions based on assumptions. Cracking down sounds like made up minds.. Thanks for your response
