Why not ask your VA PCP for a referral to the VA Sleep Clinic...you need to know if you have OSA or Sleep Apnea.this is a dangerous disabilty it can kill you!!!..

(Do not mention a sleep Apnea Claim.to these people but you need to know if you have Sleep Apnea and be diagnosed for it.

The VA Sleep Clinic will do that for you   if the clinic can't get you in within 30 days request to be outsourced through the VA New Mission ACT called the COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAM (CCP) YOU WILL BE CONTACTED BY THE VA SLEEP CLINIC FOR THE DATE AND TIME&LOCATION TO TAKE YOUR SLEEP STUDY.

If you have any degree of OSA (Sleep Apnea) the VA will either call you at home or send you a letter letting you know the results of your sleep study?

  if your diagnosed for Sleep Apnea they  (VA Sleep Clinic) will usually prescribe you a C=PAP if your degree of OSA is bad enough to require you to use a C-pap...this is all free.

..After this is when you file for your Sleep Apnea Claim..you just need an nexus from a qualified Dr to nexus this as direct service connection  or as a secondary claim from a service connected disability that you may already have.

The VA IS REALLY CRACKING DOWN ON THESE SLEEP APNEA CLAIMS AND THIS IS JUST A WAY TO GET A FREE DIAGNOSIS FOR SLEEP APNEA

Remember do not mention a S.A. CLAIM TO ANY OF THESE PEOPLE.
