Denied
The Board denied service connection for residual burn scars, insomnia, and left and right knee conditions. The initial compensable rating for the residual burn scars was also denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of insomnia or any disability related to the knees, and the burn scars were found to be non-compensably disabling.
