The Board denied service connection for psychiatric conditions, sleep disorders, attention deficit disorder, speech disorders, and memory loss. However, it granted service connection for headaches and sinus problems as due to undiagnosed illness.
The deciding factor: The appellant's headaches and sinus problems were found to be related to his service, while other conditions did not meet the criteria for service connection.
