Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, finding that his symptoms did not meet the criteria for higher ratings or service connection.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's symptoms of PTSD, allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, and hypertension did not meet the criteria for a higher rating. For service connection claims, there was insufficient evidence to establish a link between his current conditions and military service.
