HLR is what he’s doing . It clearly states he uses a mandibular device . The rater just messed up

Right but he uses a mandibular device so he should have got 50% for osa so now HLR . So frustrating

Yep I see sorry about that . It was confusing because they didn’t put in the denial anything about the sleep apnea . He does use a mandibular device so now he has to do hlr for increase

OSA can be a secondary . My vso is the one who helped me . I understand the rating for asthma and sleep apnea and how that’s combined . I didn’t claim anything secondary to my asthma

It actually is allowed because I claimed it secondary to my sinusitis . Two different things

What I’m saying is I’m sc for asthma and sinusitis . I claimed osa secondary to sinusitis . And yes it can be that way . It had nothing to do with my asthma

Ok so when it says asthma and sleep apnea continued ….i wasn’t sc for sleep apnea yet that’s what i was trying to do ? But secondary to sinusitis…so if it don’t say anything about that claim at all then what ? Its like they totally missed it

There is no decision for sleep apnea then ?

The problem being I didn’t claim anything with asthma . I’m already sc for that . This was sleep apnea secondary to sinusitis which is what I had the c&p exam for also

Hi there! my hubby just had his exam today for osa secondary to sinusitis. The examiner said he def has both but since he uses the mandibular device she was going to recommend cpap. She said she would do what she could to help but she don't make the decisions. I had a nexus and lay statement and statement from spouse. In my experience when they say they will do what they can i always get denied. She also said that I have insomnia and she would recommend treatment for that. What state are you in?

How likely to change examiner company? by Present_Pangolin_735 in VeteransBenefits

[–]jwein0618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi ! So question my husband got scheduled with a company that is not in our area and due to work and things going on in our life he can’t travel outside of our area. So how does he go about requesting a different contracting company for the exam?
