Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for tinnitus and granted service connection for insomnia disorder as a secondary condition to the Veteran's service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's insomnia was related to his service-connected tinnitus, but he had already received the maximum schedular rating for tinnitus.
