Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for insomnia as secondary to tinnitus and remanded the claim for generalized anxiety disorder, to include as secondary to tinnitus and insomnia.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's insomnia was found to be related to his service-connected tinnitus, while the evidence did not support a direct or secondary relationship between anxiety and the service-connected conditions.
