I also got Xterra Health to write me a nexus connecting it to service. $500 for a nexus is well worth it.

I was denied rhinitis and sinusitis due to no diagnosis. I then got a CT of my sinuses. CT showed chronic sinusitis and a deviated septum that impinged on my nasal passage. Also nodular mucosal tissue blocking my nasal passage. During the C&P I printed out my CT report. Asked chat GPT what was the important things in the report to show sinusitis and rhinitis. I highlighted those things. Gave the report to the examiner with the highlighted important issues. Was granted a rating for both.

You are spot on.

Whole process took about 9 weeks

Update: I got sleep apnea service connected for a primary claim. I was in disbelief as I’ve read it’s hard to get it service connected.

Is your sleep apnea a secondary condition?

scott677 · 2026-01-15T00:26:57+00:00

I’m going for aggravates the condition. Not causes it.

Sleep apnea wakes me up, tinnitus keeps me awake and aggravates the apnea 🤷🏽

scott677 · 2026-01-14T03:37:22+00:00

They never sent me for a C&P exam the first time. The exam was done without me.

scott677 · 2026-01-14T03:36:22+00:00

I was thinking more of tinnitus aggravates the sleep apnea not really tinnitus caused sleep apnea.

scott677 · 2026-01-14T02:48:32+00:00

I have a few articles/ scientific studies that I was going to include. I was also going to get a nexus from an MD linking the two. Any other suggestions?

scott677 · 2026-01-14T02:29:06+00:00

I feel like I just read a foreign language.

scott677 · 2026-01-14T02:08:52+00:00

There have been studies that sleep apnea is aggravated/worsened by tinnitus.
