Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for insomnia, secondary to the Veteran's service-connected degenerative arthritis of spine and GAD, but denied increased ratings for generalized anxiety disorder and migraines.
The deciding factor: Insomnia was granted based on a VA opinion linking it to the service-connected conditions; however, the severity of the Veteran's GAD did not meet criteria for higher ratings.
