Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral vitreous eye floaters and denied service connection for allergic rhinitis and vasomotor rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the in-service debris exposure causing eye floaters and the current disability, while there was no evidence linking the pesticide exposure to the subsequent diagnosis of rhinitis.
