My daughter and I are working hard on my husband's disability to get it increased as his condition has deteriorated to a point he cannot function normally. As we're getting different information depending on who we speak to I wondered if I could get some clarification.
He has several conditions that manifested themselves years after his original Medical discharge. A major one being sleep apnea so severe his doctor felt he could have a heart attack anytime.
For those wanting specifics my husband is 50% service disabled and was given a medical discharge for conversion disorder in 1988. he is also currently being treated for PTSD which is tied to his conversion disorder. His sleep apnea is caused by PTSD symptoms.
Could I get some advice on how we can get sleep apnea attached to his disability?

So you need an IMO linking the condition one to another! It sounds like you might have a doctor who will doe this. As for the rating and how much he has been going down hill you need to ask for
