Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and denied service connection for insomnia, while granting service connection for chronic sinusitis, cervical spine disorder, ED, and hemorrhoids.
The deciding factor: The evidence was not persuasive in establishing the presence of separate conditions for insomnia or chronic sinusitis, but it supported the grant of service connection for other conditions based on direct service incurrence or presumptive exposure to fine particulate matter during service in Southwest Asia.
