Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for insomnia and an initial compensable rating for non-scarring hair loss were denied. The claims for service connection for PTSD and higher ratings for right hip strain were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a diagnosis of insomnia or a compensable rating for hair loss, but the VA examinations for PTSD and hip strain were inadequate.
