I've got an Honorably discharged (non-combat) Veteran from the Navy for an undiagnosed sleep disorder. The VA has rated him 0% for Narcolepsy. In my research, and through my understanding. IAW 38 CFR 4.124a, 8108 Narcolepsy rate as for 8911 Epilepsy, petit mal. Since the VA acknowledges Narcolepsy, shouldn't they confer 8911 Epilepsy, Petit mal to determine his rating above 0%?
