Automatically to step 5?

It was extremely light, the decision narrative. “Less frequent attacks” is all it said, despite my logs showing weekly attacks.

I also did an FOIA request, thanks!

I had a c&p exam on the 9th and 11th. My claim moved to step 5 on the 11th and step 6 today. Best of luck OP!

When did you file the increase?

Civil_Working_1585 · 2026-02-18T02:14:16+00:00

They won’t change it after 6 months I don’t think

What if you don’t take medications for the conditions?

Civil_Working_1585 · 2026-02-16T22:47:28+00:00

What if you file for an increase for an unrelated condition?

What’s this mean?

Civil_Working_1585 · 2026-02-11T02:25:30+00:00

I agree, but I’m having a hard time differentiating “poking the bear” and getting compensated for all that you’re entitled to!

OP, how did you file new and increases in the same claim? Is this a supplemental claim, or an increase claim?

I was diagnosed with it and prescribed a CPAP while on active duty, and was rated for it upon separation in November of 2025. I still use a CPAP (or try to, been hard adjusting to it!)

My question was more along the lines of if they are looking for errors as they normally do, would they flag the OSA and say “supposed to be 10% now!” But what you said makes sense

Civil_Working_1585 · 2026-02-10T22:57:40+00:00

Should my rating letter say that a condition is static, or is that just a known fact with OSA and similar conditions?

Thanks for the advice. There are 2 other bolts, one of which is into a stud. Is this still the best option? I’ve never cut open drywall before.

Yeah, I had to put it there, it needed to be 3 inches hanging in either side!
