The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been submitted to reopen the claim for service connection for sleep disturbance as a chronic disability resulting from an undiagnosed illness. The veteran's claims for service connection for headaches and PTSD remain denied.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was submitted, but the veteran's original claim for service connection based on an undiagnosed illness remains denied due to lack of objective indications of a chronic disability resulting from such an illness.
