The Board granted an initial 10 percent disability rating for insomnia, resolving all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's insomnia resulted in occupational and social impairment due to mild or transient symptoms which decrease work efficiency and ability to perform occupational tasks only during periods of significant stress, or; symptoms controlled by continuous medication as evidenced by the February 2023 VA examination.
