With the many studies being done about sleep apnea, one interesting fact has surfaced: secondary conditions are often associated with the primary condition of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).


Like you, I was very surprised that a primary condition could have secondary conditions. It seems counter-intuitive! When file a claim for sleep apnea , though, the VA examiner may deny it on the fact that there are no secondary conditions associated with your primary OSA diagnosis. If this happens to you, I've got some great news, you can fight it in the appeals process!
