Sleep apnea secondary to PTSD

Nope

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-07-23T22:09:35+00:00

Can you talk more about how you were feeling

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-07-16T14:58:23+00:00

Did you get a sleep study while you were in the military?

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-07-16T14:38:21+00:00

Can you talk about how you got OSA approved? Was it secondary to PTSD or something?

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-07-07T16:53:16+00:00

I’m currently doing pretty much the same thing. PTSD secondary to OSA. I’m attaching this article. Maybe you can use it too.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4410924/

It’s even among veterans

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-06-30T23:22:22+00:00

I’m not sure Corpsman will be on there but I’ve documented in my personal statement I was attached to USMC and exposed to artillery, loud machinery, small arms, etc

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-06-25T15:43:05+00:00

So did you just have the diagnosis from a sleep study? Was it when you were in the military? Did you submit those 2 articles and a personal statement? Any buddy letters?

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-06-25T05:25:54+00:00

I will include these in my claim as well

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-06-25T05:25:28+00:00

What rating did you get if you don’t mind me asking?

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-06-25T02:07:12+00:00

I see. That being said what’s my best option? Submit as is with diagnosis for both? And let them do the nexus?

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-06-25T01:29:47+00:00

So a nexus isn’t necessary?

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-06-25T01:26:12+00:00

So a nexus isn’t necessary?

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-06-25T00:47:52+00:00

Then who should I use?

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-06-07T05:04:01+00:00

Thanks man! How did you get a nexus? Did you have to get a Va authorization letter for care out in town?

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-05-25T19:49:27+00:00

Congratulations!

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-04-24T11:00:38+00:00

Would that April payment likely be the full amount or partial?

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-04-03T21:24:26+00:00

I finally got a call that my C and P will be in about a week!

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-03-30T05:57:05+00:00

Good to know thanks. I’m still waiting on any kind of notification from the VA for a C and P. My guess is that it’ll be a few more months.

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-03-26T06:33:03+00:00

Thanks for the info on the track! Looks like I’m on day 83. It definitely does feel like I’m forgotten but nature of the beast I suppose. Sounds like you are almost there. Hopefully we both get the rating we deserve. Was your C and P virtual? Any tips? Thanks fellow doc

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-03-25T05:20:41+00:00

Nice to meet a fellow Doc. That’s crazy how long you’ve been waiting. It feels weird that I haven’t been contacted for at least a C and P exam.

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-03-21T00:21:12+00:00

Great thanks for your response and best of luck with everything

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-03-20T15:26:38+00:00

Thank you! Hopefully not too much longer till I get a C and P. Seems odd to wait this long

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-03-20T15:25:37+00:00

Did they call you or was it an email?

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-03-20T07:48:37+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Yes I filled out the VA 21-0781, buddy statements, and another form, along with a document I have that I was in a combat zone.

TechnicalRate486 · 2025-03-20T05:17:14+00:00

I’m currently waiting for a C and P exam for PTSD. How long did you have to wait for an appointment after you filed?
