The evidence gap
Why Sleep Apnea claims stall in Louisiana
Sleep apnea is one of the most commonly denied VA claims because diagnosis often comes years after separation. Most successful claims are built on secondary service connection — apnea aggravated or caused by an already service-connected condition — or on continuity of symptoms documented by lay and medical evidence.
What the VA requires
- A sleep study confirming the diagnosis
- An in-service event, exposure, or an already service-connected condition
- A medical opinion establishing direct or secondary connection
- Evidence of the treatment required (CPAP, oral device, or none)
How we help Louisiana veterans
- Review of sleep study results against your service and post-service records
- Opinions addressing secondary connection to PTSD, rhinitis, sinusitis, or asthma
- Aggravation opinions where an existing condition worsened the apnea
- Citation of the literature linking each proposed pathway
Rated under diagnostic code 6847: 0 percent asymptomatic, 30 percent for persistent daytime hypersomnolence, 50 percent when a breathing assistance device such as CPAP is required, and 100 percent with chronic respiratory failure or tracheostomy. Typical turnaround is up to 4 weeks once your complete records arrive.
