Sleep Apnea Secondary to PTSD

[Jonathan AF]

I recently did a home study from the VA, and my results are as follows (see attached):

 

Min SpO2: 78.0%

Total RDI: 50.2

Findings: Snoring & Obstructive apneas/hypoapneas

Impression: OSA (G47.33) ("severe" is handwritten next to this).

They set me up with a CPAP machine to wear each night.

I am currently 30% rated for PTSD.  Based on this, can anyone tell what my rating would be filing sleep apnea as secondary to PTSD?

Right, and thanks for the comment.  They just want to see if it's connected to ptsd...i.e. since I stress eat and binge drink because of it.

Update:

I received a call at 1305 CST from phone number 213-474-2779, QTC Medical Services.  At first, he wanted to schedule an appointment for a sleep study, but had misread the request...He ended up locating the sleep study in my records, and then after re-reading the request, said that I need to schedule an appointment for osa secondary to ptsd.  

 

The soonest they could get in locally was 8/19/2021, but I do not want to wait, obviously, so I went ahead and scheduled the appointment in Fayetteville, AR (163 miles away) for this coming Wednesday, July 14, 2021 at 1000 CST.

My exam was awesome.  I walked away pretty much knowing the exam went in my favor.

Ok, so check this out.  Her rationale sounds like she selected the wrong box, right?

Then there is also this, in a different section:

Then, from the telehealth 9 minute "exam":

I have not received my decision letter yet, but my percentage on va.gov changed from 30% to 70%.  Also, there's a pending deposit for $29,700.  I got it!
