Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability other than PTSD, as her sleep disturbances and depression were found to be symptoms of her already service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examiner assessed that only a diagnosis of PTSD was warranted, subsuming the Veteran's reported symptoms of sleep disturbance and depression.
