Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sinusitis and denied a compensable rating for hypertension. The claims for service connection for a psychiatric condition, pre-cancerous growths cysts in upper gum and nasal cavity, obstructive sleep apnea, and muscle weakness were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's sinusitis was related to his active service, while the evidence did not support a compensable rating for hypertension. The remaining claims required further development before a decision could be made.
