Support for Veterans with Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea has been a VA-rated disability since 1996. Research shows that active-duty service members are 34% more likely to report not getting enough sleep than civilians with no history of military service, in some cases sleep apnea could be playing a role for these veterans.
Organizations such as Veterans Guide assist veterans with the array of issues they may face, such as obtaining proper disability compensation, financial and health assistance, information on the GI bill, and more. Veterans Guide created some helpful guides and will continuously be adding more. Check out:
