Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus and service connection for an insomnia disorder, finding that the conditions were not directly related to or aggravated by the Veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The insomnia was found to be a symptom of the already service-connected tinnitus, and thus did not warrant separate service connection.
