Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for allergic rhinitis, finding that the Veteran's pre-existing condition was aggravated during his active duty. The appeal to establish service connection for a headache disability is remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board found clear and unmistakable evidence of pre-existing allergic rhinitis but not enough evidence to conclude it was not aggravated by service, thus granting service connection based on aggravation theory.
