Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and tinnitus, but dismissed the claims for chronic sinusitis and allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on a nexus to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for OSA and direct evidence of onset during service for tinnitus. The claims for sinusitis and rhinitis were dismissed due to withdrawal by the Veteran.
