RockyA1911 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 TBIRD's question "how would sleep apnea be connected to ptsd?" This is how! ORDER Service connection for sleep apnea is granted secondary to service-connected PTSD See attached BVA decision. Sleep Apnea is not caused by PTSD but it is secondary to PTSD because S/C PTSD aggravates the non-S/C Sleep Apnea.Sleep_Apnea_BVA_Decision.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted August 15, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 15, 2007 Rocky: Thank you very much as it certainly would not be much from that case for me to have sleep apnea service connected for my self. Every since I had panic attack in 1969 I have had pittiful sleep and I am using a CPAP given by the VA. Thank you very much Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
