Insomnia - Tinnitus Combined Rating
in VA Disability Claims Research
Posted
I have a similar thing that is very confusing. I filed for Insomnia secondary to Tinnitus which was granted. My letter states:
The evaluation of tinnitus to include insomnia is continued as 10 percent disabling.
We have granted your claim for insomnia and have combined it with your service-connected tinnitus. (38 CFR 4.130)
I thought the insomnia claim if granted received it's own rating under mental health disorders. I went through a mental
health C&P to get this approved and the psychiatrist filled out a mental health DBQ?
I received no rating for the insomnia and when I called VA they simply said it was combined with your tinnitus. Anymore questions?
