Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied service connection for disability manifested by sleep disturbances and remanded the claims for increased ratings for left and right ankle lateral collateral ligament sprain with exertional compartment syndrome.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not have a current disability manifested by sleep disturbances, separate and distinct from any service-connected disability, as evidenced by no recent diagnosis of such a condition prior to filing the claim.
