The C&P exams needed updated.
Example: 50% disabled for snoring, aka sleep apnea, which is very common corrected by multiple medical techniques, provided by the VA cost free, doesn't currently reduce the rating. In other words, you go to the C&P exam, wear a sleep/breath analysis gizmo, record 10 events a night. 50% disability, 100# overweight etc.. nothing matters. They provide a CPAC, take the sleep breath test wearing it, zero events, you still were collecting 50% disability.
This rectifies that obvious defect in disability. You wear it, but due to service connected event like my childhood friend who became a Recon Marine, combat diver, who was on a dive and they faq'd up the air mixture and burnt his lungs, still 10 events a night w/ the CPAC, still 50%.
The bloated and unbalanced VA needs this common sence way forward- I hope it serves our warriors well. We'll see.
