In 2022, the VA proposed an adjustment through regulation to amend the previously adopted schedule of VA ratings for sleep apnea.
Specifically, the proposed rule would remove in its entirety the current 30% disability rating for veterans exhibiting excessive daytime sleepiness and replace it with a 10% disability rating for veterans with a sleep apnea diagnosis with incomplete relief (as determined by a sleep study) with treatment including a CPAP machine, and further, remove the automatic 50% disability rating for veterans with a documented need for a CPAP machine (50% disability would instead require that the veteran have a sleep apnea diagnosis with ineffective treatment, as determined by a sleep study, or who is unable to use treatment due to comorbid conditions, without end-organ damage).

However, all veterans filing new claims on and after the change in ratings criteria would be evaluated under the new criteria.

+Added: The VA may finalize, modify, or withdraw the proposed revisions through a future final rule, the timing and substance of which remain uncertain.
+Added: On June 9, 2025, CMS finalized a National Coverage Determination (NCD) entitled “Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) in the Home for the Treatment of Chronic Respiratory Failure (CRF) Consequent to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).” The NCD establishes a uniform national coverage criteria for Respiratory Assist Devices (RADs) with bi-level capacity, with or without a backup rate feature, and for the first time, Home Mechanical Ventilators (HMVs) for patients with chronic respiratory failure (CRF) consequent to COPD.
