About this episode
Leah breaks down why so many veterans’ VA sleep apnea claims get denied and how to strengthen them. She explains what sleep apnea is, why it’s especially common among veterans, and the two main service connection paths—primary and secondary. Leah then highlights the top reasons for denials, including lack of a sleep study, missing or weak service connection, negative nexus opinions, obesity or other non-service-related factors, and weak supporting evidence. She emphasizes that denials aren’t the end of the road—strong medical opinions, buddy statements, and accredited legal help can often turn a case around. 🟥 Subscribe: https://bit.ly/472dW2p 🟦 Website: https://prestigeveteranmctx.com/ About: At Prestige Veteran Medical Consulting, a veteran-owned company, we specialize in Independent Medical Opinions (IMOs) known as Nexus letters.
