Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include adjustment disorder with depressed mood and alcohol use disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), but denied service connection for sleep disturbances. The claims for multiple sclerosis, left leg varicose veins, and hypertension were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of the acquired psychiatric disorder and CFS are related to her active service, while the evidence does not support a separate diagnosis of sleep disturbance disability.
