The Board has granted service connection for a disability manifested by diarrhea, PTSD, and arthralgias. The respiratory disorder, back disability, chronic sinus disability, fatigue, and skin rash were not found to be related to service or the Gulf War.
The deciding factor: Service connection was established based on new evidence that reopened the claim for these conditions.
