Denied
The Board denied service connection for insomnia as it is subsumed under the Veteran's already service-connected PTSD diagnosis.
The deciding factor: Insomnia was deemed a symptom of PTSD and not a separate disability for which service connection can be granted, avoiding impermissible pyramiding.
