Granted
The Board granted restoration of a separate 50 percent disability rating for the Veteran's insomnia associated with tinnitus, finding that the reduction was improper.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's insomnia is secondary to his service-connected tinnitus and at the time of the November 2024 rating decision failed to demonstrate he was better able to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
