    It's sucks to be us. Two veterans might have the same claim characteristics; gulf war, environmental exposure, etc... For Sleep apnea you need to have at least one indication that it started while in service. Sleeping disturbances, chronic cough, etc... But the sad thing here depends on the examiner you had during the examination. They most of the time are required to provide an opinion, but if you had one of them that woke up in a bad mood that day, or he/she think, based on their knowledge, that the condition just do not have any relation to service; you are with the majority of the veterans; with a denied claim. Pleople, when you submit a claim for any condition, you must do research. Please submit something that help them determine whether your condition is related to any event in service.
