Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and allergic rhinitis, granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, and denied an initial compensable rating for tension headaches. The claim for erectile dysfunction was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of a current disability for CFS and allergic rhinitis, and the grant of service connection for OSA being proximately due to his service-connected lumbar laminectomy at L4-L5 with intervertebral disc syndrome (IVDS) and left lower extremity radiculopathy.
