Question
pyrotaz 6
After a lot of research on the 18th I submitted my claim for Sleep Apnea secondary to PTSD. I waited a while due to the fact I wanted another sleep study done by the VA. Had that completed and placed on a Cpap machine. After doing many months of research I found that many Sleep Apnea secondary to PTSD claims were won by having a nexus letter written by a doctor stating that their PTSD at least likely as not aggravated there Sleep Apnea and that their Sleep Apnea as least likely at not aggravated their PTSD. This is the way my Doctor and my counselor wrote them. I also found 18 studies on PTSD and Sleep apnea . I will keep you all updated and hope to be able to post positive results and then will share with everyone all my links and documents I found as soon as I get a moment to organize them.
