Can I Claim Disability For Sleep Apnea As A Result From Leaving The Military?

Posted by: Alan in Sleep Disorder, tags: Apnea., Claim, Disability, From, Leaving, Military, Result, Sleep

I am suffering from a sleeping disorder after leaving the military. If there is no record of this in my medical record, can I still make a Disability claim with the VA? I am currently having severe sleeping problems after leaving the military with 9 years of service!

yes you can make a claim and win…you will need proof from a m.d. and also a psychiatrist stating that you can not work 12 consecutive months. you will also need a lawyer who specializes in disability. disability lawyers do not charge you unless you win the case. so you have nothing to lose. also be prepared to wait at least 1 1/2 to 2 years from beginning to end for this process. good luck

You should have a test for sleep apnea. Maybe that will help.
