The Board granted service connection for right hip pain, left hip pain, and obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to a service-connected condition, but denied service connection for sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports the Veteran's claims for bilateral hip pain and obstructive sleep apnea, while the evidence does not support his claim for sinusitis.
