So I was thinking of going to the guard after my active duty contract and I have sleep apnea (I use a machine) I was wondering could I still service and still receive my VA disability rating or no

Yes you can. Depending on your rating, you will probably receive either reduced pay (compensated by your rating) or no pay due to rating (i.e., 100% VA). I knew several Soldiers that were drilling for points because their VA rating was high enough that they couldn't receive pay.

You can, but the VA compensation will not be paid during periods you receive military pay.
Typically, this is 63 days per year (48 UTAs and 15 AT).
