The Board granted service connection for chronic sinusitis and a left ankle condition, but denied service connection for a neck injury. The claims for service connection for a left hip condition, right hip condition, GERD, and stomach problems were remanded.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence indicated the Veteran's current chronic sinusitis disability was presumptively related to her Persian Gulf War service, while the evidence against finding that the Veteran's current cervical spine disability was incurred during service or diagnosed within the presumptive after service. The claims for other conditions were remanded for further development.
