Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a back condition, neck condition, bilateral hearing loss, and an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include insomnia disorder. The claims for the remaining conditions were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence submitted since the prior denial was found to be new and material, thus reopening the claims for a back condition and neck condition. Bilateral hearing loss and an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include insomnia disorder, were granted based on the persuasive evidence of record.
