The Veteran's sleep disorder (insomnia) is granted as secondary to his service-connected sinusitis and allergic rhinitis. His diabetes mellitus, skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma), and Raynaud’s phenomenon of the bilateral upper and lower extremities are all denied.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's sleep disorder was proximately due to his service-connected disabilities but denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, skin cancer, and Raynaud’s phenomenon as there is no evidence of in-service exposure or a direct link to service.
