Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep disturbances but denied service connection for a neurological disorder of the left wrist and hemorrhoids.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's sleep disturbance was found to be a manifestation of an undiagnosed illness presumptively related to Southwest Asia service, while there was no current disability shown for the other conditions.
