Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sinusitis and allergic rhinitis, restored them after finding the severance was improper due to clear and unmistakable error. Service connection was also granted for headaches but denied for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). A total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) was granted from December 23, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's preexisting sinusitis and allergic rhinitis may have been aggravated by service, while headaches were incurred in or caused by military service. The evidence did not support a finding of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) being related to service.
