Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for insomnia disorder as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected tinnitus and denied an increased rating for tinnitus with insomnia. The claim for a TDIU was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the favorable opinions from the private health care professional and the VA examiner who both opined that the Veteran has a separately diagnosed insomnia disorder related to his service-connected tinnitus.
