Sleep Apnea

Is all Sleep Apnea considered a disability?  It seems that if you need a machine to sleep (or help with airway constriction), then that is a severe condition.  I am new to this and dont know what is considered serious or not.

I have found Sleep Apnea listed as a disability on the SSI site.  It does not say anything regarding mild, moderate, or severe just that it is a listed disability.

Go to your local social security office and apply for disability. You just may qualify for it. I have a aunt that has this condition and currently recieves SSI Disability.
