Granted
The Board granted restoration of a separate 30 percent rating for insomnia, effective March 22, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's insomnia symptoms are separate and distinguishable from the symptomatology of his service-connected tinnitus, and the evidence supports a separate rating under DC 9499-6260.
