## Can You Receive VA Disability Benefits for Sleep Apnea?

Many veterans suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or central sleep apnea (CSA) without realizing it qualifies as a VA disability. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and can prove it is connected to your military service, you may be eligible for VA disability compensation. Sleep apnea is one of the most commonly claimed VA disabilities. However, proving service connection and obtaining a favorable VA rating can be challenging without strong medical evidence.

At [Wettermark Keith Veterans Disability Lawyers](https://wkfirm.com/our-attorneys/), we help veterans nationwide file VA sleep apnea claims and appeal denied benefits.

## How Is Sleep Apnea Connected to Military Service?

Sleep apnea may be service-connected in several ways:

- Direct service connection (symptoms began during active duty)
- Secondary service connection (caused or aggravated by another service-connected disability)

Sleep apnea is frequently secondary to:

- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety or depression
- Asthma or respiratory conditions
- Burn pit or toxin exposure

Many veterans first experienced symptoms like snoring or breathing interruptions during service but were never formally diagnosed.
