Partly granted
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, except for a headache disability which was granted as secondary to chronic sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the criteria for higher ratings or service connection for the claimed conditions, with the exception of headaches being linked to chronic sinusitis.
