Denied
The Board denied service connection for insomnia and an acquired psychiatric disability, to include depression and adjustment disorder. The claims for service connection for left knee pain, right knee pain, low back pain, right shoulder pain, and left shoulder pain were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not establish a relationship between the Veteran's current disabilities and his active-duty service.
