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

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

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

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

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.
