The Board granted an initial rating of 30 percent for chronic primary hypersomnia prior to August 11, 2022, and denied a compensable rating from that date. The claim for TDIU was also denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms most closely approximated a 30 percent disability rating under Diagnostic Code 6847 before August 11, 2022, but as of that date, he is already being compensated for the same symptom through his service-connected other specified depressive disorder with specific phobia fear of medical care and circadian rhythm sleep disorder.
