The Board denied a compensable rating for sinusitis and service connection for bilateral hearing loss, and remanded the claim for service connection for sleep apnea to correct pre-decisional errors.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of current disability for bilateral hearing loss or a compensable rating for sinusitis. The Board also found that there was insufficient evidence to establish a link between the Veteran's service and his claimed sleep apnea, particularly as it may be secondary to his service-connected PTSD.
