Social Security Disability Benefits & OSA

Posted by Herbie on January 21, 2002 at 05:32:32:

Is anyone on this forum on Social Security Disability for Obstructive Sleep Apnea? I was in the service and had to leave it for problems related to OSA. The OSA was partially diagnosed in my military service medical records and the Veterans Affairs granted me permanent nad total disability status. I was told that I might qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits and I was wondering if Social Secutrity Administration accepts claims for Obstructive Sleep Apnea? Any comments on this subject appreciated. Thank you.
