Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for sinusitis and remanded claims for gastroesophageal reflux disease, migraine headaches, rhinitis, cervical spine disability, left shoulder disability, and right shoulder disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of current sinusitis. The Veteran's TERA participation required further development to determine the nature of his in-service exposure.
