The Board denied service connection for allergic rhinitis, a bilateral foot condition (pes planus and plantar fasciitis), a respiratory condition (upper respiratory infections and sinusitis), an acquired psychiatric disorder ('memory loss short term and social adjustment with anger issues lack of concentration'), and sleep apnea.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities related to the claimed conditions, or a nexus between the claimed conditions and service.
