Looking for Sleep Apnea Expert for NEXUS letter

Good morning all.  I am a 90% rated veteran with PTSD, chronic sinuses, and migraines as well as HBP.   I have had 13 surgeries on my sinuses to correct the problems with little benefit.  I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea about 12 years ago.  I use a CPAP machine. I ETS'd in 2000.   I am looking for someone who has had a good result from an expert who wrote a letter connecting sinuses to sleep apnea.   Or even PTSD.   I of course am not rich, so funds are an issue.  I am told by the AL representative that the opinion, if accepted by the VA would result in an award that takes me to 100%. 

thank you in advance for your assistance.

2 50s, one 70% and 10% HBP = 90% ???

Doe that make sense to anyone here?

Probably only 1 50%. But I'm not good with VA math

 

70% + 50% = 85%

85% + 50% = 93%

93% + 10% = 94%

Then the VA will/would round down for a combined total of 90%.

OR

70% + 50% = 85%

85% + 10% = 87%

Then the VA will/would round up for a combined total of 90%.

    All VA Claims questions should be posted on our forums. Read the forums without registering, to post you must register it’s free. Register for a free account.

    Tips on posting on the forums.

    1. Post a clear title like ‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question’.
    2. Knowledgable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on.
    3. Use paragraphs instead of one huge, rambling introduction or story. Again – You want to make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.

    Leading to:

    Post clear questions and then give background info on them.

    Examples:

    • A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
      • I was diagnosed with apnea in service and received a CPAP machine but claim was denied in 2008. Should I refile?
    • B. I may have PTSD- how can I be sure?
      • I was involved in traumatic incident on base in 1974 and have had nightmares ever since, but I did not go to mental health while enlisted. How can I get help?

    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial from your claim?” etc.

    Note:

    Your firsts posts on the board may be delayed before they show up, as they are reviewed, this process does not take long and the review requirement will be removed usually by the 6th post, though we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.

    This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before they hit the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims and this helps us do that.

    You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons … Continue reading
