Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, to include insomnia and major depressive disorder, as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence supporting a finding that the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disability is secondary to his service-connected tinnitus, and resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
