Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for insomnia disorder but denied service connection for right ankle strain, right knee strain, and bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: Insomnia disorder is at least as likely as not related to the Veteran's active service in the United States Navy, including air traffic control shift work and long hours with on-call duty. The evidence of record does not support a finding that the other conditions began during or are related to service.
