You can claim the cost of rental each month from the drugs payment scheme.
It requires completing a drugs payment scheme refund form each month with copy of your CPAP monthly rental invoice/receipt
 
We claimed up to around 3/4 years ago. We had to fill in a refund form for each month claiming, but often sent a number of months refund forms together and there was never a problem with getting the repayments.
 
Just to add you only get refunded any payments made over the €80 cap on prescribed medication.
In our case our monthly meds were always over the €80 so we always got a full refund of the cap machine which was around €100 per month
