Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to an effective date earlier than January 9, 2023, for the grant of service connection for insomnia as secondary to a back disability due to a need for additional medical evidence.
The deciding factor: An addendum VA medical opinion is needed to determine the onset of the Veteran's service-connected insomnia prior to January 9, 2023.
