Service connection for insomnia was denied. A higher evaluation of 70 percent for depressive disorder was granted. The issue of service connection for anxiety disorder was remanded.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's sleep complaints were adequately explained by his service-connected depressive disorder, and thus a separate diagnosis of insomnia was not warranted.
