Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for restoration of a separate rating under DC 9499-9435 for insomnia, finding that the discontinuance was proper due to clear and unmistakable error in the January 2024 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The Board found CUE in the January 2024 rating decision by granting a separate evaluation under DC 9499-9435 for insomnia, instead of combining it with migraine headaches under DC 8100. The error was undebatable and would have manifestly changed the outcome.
