Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including insomnia and posttraumatic stress disorder, as the Veteran's insomnia had its onset during service and his PTSD resulted from an in-service stressor.
The deciding factor: The likelihood is approximately evenly balanced, if not higher, that the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder, diagnosed as insomnia, had its onset during service. Resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, the criteria for entitlement to service connection have been met.
