Was Your Sleep Apnea VA Claim Denied or Rated too Low?

If VA denied your sleep apnea claim, or gave you a lower than the severity of your condition warrants, you may still have options to appeal. Since 1999, Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick has represented over 36,000 veterans and survivors in VA appeals across the country, recovering over $1 billion in compensation.

Proposed changes to how sleep apnea is rated are moving through both VA and Congress, but nothing has yet been finalized. Veterans with current sleep apnea ratings would be protected if new the rules take effect, and filing now means your claim is evaluated under the current criteria. If you are seeking VA benefits for sleep apnea, now is the time to act.

    Veterans With Sleep Apnea May Qualify for Other Benefits:

    A free case evaluation looks beyond the sleep apnea rating itself. For example:

    • TDIU: Total disability based on individual unemployability pays at the 100 percent rate when service-connected conditions, including sleep apnea, prevent substantially gainful employment.
    • Special Monthly Compensation: Pays above the 100 percent rate for veterans who need aid and attendance, are housebound, or have certain combinations of disabilities.
    • Secondary conditions: Sleep apnea is often secondary to another service-connected condition, and it can also cause or worsen others, including hypertension and depression.

    I would like to thank the law firm of Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick for all their hard work of helping me to get my rating of 100% VA disability. Every time I was denied they fought for me.
