Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for non-allergic rhinitis under the PACT Act and remanded the claim for obstructive sleep apnea due to an incomplete medical opinion.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's participation in a toxic exposure risk activity during his Southwest Asia service, as supported by the PACT Act. The Board found that the evidence did not rebut the presumption of service connection for chronic rhinitis under this act.
