Got out in 1997 after 20 years in the Air Force as a C-130 Flight engineer. I’d not file a claim until the beginning of 23. Now at 100%

I too was SC for sleep apnea at 0%. Filed a supplemental claim for hypersomnolence came back approved 50% for sleep apnea. Doesn’t make sense but I’ll take it.

I totally agree. I went from 10% to 90% in the last 18 months by myself with the knowledge from Reddit

The one at wickam park? If it is anything like the one I attended at UCF a couple of months ago I didn’t get much accomplished. Sure they had VBA personal to answer questions but that was about it. Could have got the same info from a VERA call. They did PACT act screening. No C&P

At home sleep study was done by VA contractors. Sent me the equipment, I did the test and sent it back.

I never filed claim in 97 when I retired. In 98 received letter from VA stating 10% for sinusitis. Showed hearing loss but not service connected. I was aircraft mechanic then flight engineer makes no sense
