The Board granted service connection for anxiety, depression, and a psychiatric disorder (including PTSD) but denied service connection for an insomnia disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claim of having a current diagnosis of insomnia. However, there was sufficient evidence to establish that the Veteran had anxiety, depression, and other specified trauma and stressor related disorder as a result of his active service.
