The Board denied service connection for hypertension, sinusitis, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), a cervical spine disability, a bilateral ankle disability, a bilateral knee disability, and a bilateral shoulder disability as there was no evidence of current diagnoses or medical nexus to active service.

The deciding factor: The weight of the most probative evidence is against a finding that the Veteran has diagnoses of sinusitis, CFS, or current bilateral knee and shoulder disabilities, and that the weight of the most probative evidence is against a finding of a medical nexus between the current hypertension and cervical spine and bilateral ankle disabilities and active service.
