The Board granted service connection for non-allergic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis, but denied service connection for right ear hearing loss. The claims for back pain, left knee strain, lungs breathing issue, and right wrist chronic pain were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence of record and the application of relevant legal standards, including presumptive service connection for certain conditions related to exposure to environmental hazards during military service.
