The Board granted service connection for a sleep disorder but denied service connection for a neurological bowel or bladder disorder and an extraschedular rating for back disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's sleep disorder was found to have arisen during service, while there was no evidence of a current diagnosis of a neurological bowel or bladder disability. The back disability did not present such an exceptional or unusual disability picture that rendered the available schedular ratings inadequate.
