Granted
The Board granted the appeal by restoring a separate rating for insomnia disorder effective April 1, 2025, as there was no clear and unmistakable error in the May 10, 2023 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner diagnosed insomnia disorder as a separate diagnosis from tinnitus, which is not considered a symptom of tinnitus under the rating schedule.
