Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's unspecified insomnia disorder, finding that his symptoms did not warrant a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed mild or transient symptoms which decrease work efficiency and ability to perform occupational tasks only during periods of significant stress, or; symptoms controlled by medication. The Veteran reported being able to function normally with five hours of sleep per night.
