Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, secondary to the Veteran's service-connected allergic rhinitis. The issue of entitlement to service connection for chronic sinusitis was remanded due to a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Service connection for obstructive sleep apnea is warranted as it is caused by the Veteran's service-connected allergic rhinitis, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
