creek chub Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I was diagnosed with sleep apnea but it’s not severe enough to prescribe a cpap machine. Assuming I could claim it secondary to ptsd/depression, is 30% rating doable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that you will have a hard time getting it connected as secondary to your PTSD/depression. Tell her that you need it for a VA claim and she might be more willing to do it. Make sure that she also states she has looked at all your medical records and why she feels it is related to your PTSD/depression. I am not an attorney or an a credited VA rep. These are my personal opinions and experiences, always remember what worked for me may not work for you. You as the veteran are your own best advocate and no one knows your disabilities better than you. It is highly recommended that you as the veteran research and verify that any opinion given meets your specific situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
