Insomnia Sc Question

[Detonator]

I applied for service connection for Insomnia due to chronic pain and was awarded secondary SC 10% granted (6/27/08):

Insomnia with mood disorder not otherwise specified due to chronic pain associated with degenerative disc disease lumbar spine post laminectomy.

I'm just curious if anyone knows what "mood disorder not otherwise specified" means or if it has any significance. I'm not sure if this was a vague attempt to not recognize depression. In looking at the decision, it appears that wording came from a mental health evaluation I had regarding insomnia. I'm going to a psychologist in January to get treated for depression as it relates to Insomnia. My second question is, would this be a separate condition that I can apply for or is it related to an increase for insomnia?

Thanks for any help provided.

My guess would be an anxiety disorder or depression.

Good Luck

If found by your Drs, seek an increase for depression.

Good Luck
