Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a rating in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus, service connection for sinusitis and a prostate condition due to herbicide exposure, and remanded claims for service connection for tension headaches and a kidney condition due to herbicide exposure.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not have a current diagnosis of the claimed conditions at any time during the pendency of the claim or that his claimed conditions were caused by his acknowledged herbicide exposure.
