Granted
The Board granted entitlement to insomnia, secondary to the service-connected tinnitus based on a current diagnosis and a nexus between the disability and the Veteran's service-connected condition.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 private medical opinion and November 2023 VA examination provided positive nexus opinions linking the Veteran's insomnia to his service-connected tinnitus, while the March 2024 VA examiner's negative opinion was given low probative value due to errors in reasoning.
