Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a cervical spine condition but denied service connection for insomnia.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 private opinion provided by the Veteran's treating physician was found to be highly probative, establishing a nexus between the in-service events and the current cervical spine condition. Insomnia was not shown to exist based on the evidence of record.
