The Veteran's claim for service connection for a sinus disorder was granted, while the claims for low back pain and a gastrointestinal disorder were denied.
The deciding factor: The decision to grant service connection for chronic sinusitis was based on evidence of symptoms during service. The denial of service connection for lumbar spine and gastrointestinal disorders was due to lack of evidence showing current disability related to service.
