Granted
The Board granted a separate rating for service connection of insomnia as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported and documented symptoms of tinnitus and insomnia are not duplicative or overlapping, thus no pyramiding exists and a separate evaluation is warranted.
