The Board denied service connection for multiple disabilities but remanded the claims for psychiatric disability and sleep disturbances.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding that the Veteran has had any of these disabilities at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim, or that they began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
