Denied
The Board denied service connection for sinusitis and sleep apnea, and remanded claims for hypertension, erectile dysfunction, digestive disorder, and tinnitus due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of current disability or a nexus between the claimed conditions and active service, including exposure to burn pits.
