The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for anorexia and a disability manifested by insomnia, finding that there is no evidence of these conditions during or after his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran does not have current diagnoses of anorexia or a disability manifested by insomnia separate from his service-connected adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depression.
