Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for allergic rhinitis and denied service connection for obsessive-compulsive disorder, right lower extremity radiculopathy, left lower extremity radiculopathy, obstructive sleep apnea, and diabetes mellitus type II.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance for the Veteran's claim of allergic rhinitis, but not for his other claims due to a lack of credible evidence linking them to service or toxic exposure.
