Denied
The Board denied initial ratings in excess of the assigned percentages for OSA, hypertension, allergic rhinitis, and irritable colon syndrome. Service connection was also denied for chronic fatigue syndrome and a respiratory disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet or approximate the criteria necessary to warrant higher ratings or service connection due to the lack of evidence supporting such claims.
