The Board granted service connection for ovarian cysts, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran. The issue regarding allergic rhinitis was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's symptoms during and after service to her current diagnosis of ovarian cysts, leading to the grant of service connection. For allergic rhinitis, there is insufficient evidence to establish a nexus to service, hence it was remanded for additional medical opinion.
