Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for hiatal hernia and abdominal pain, chronic sinusitis (under the PACT Act), and lumbosacral strain. The claims for increased ratings for PTSD and allergic rhinitis were denied, while several other claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a favorable finding of service connection for the claimed conditions where evidence supported a link to service or in-service exposure, with some issues being granted and others not.
