Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for allergic rhinitis as a duplicative appeal and denied service connection for headaches, finding no evidence linking either condition to the Veteran's military service or any service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The April 2024 VA examiner concluded that the Veteran's current diagnosis of headaches was not related to her service-connected sinusitis due to differences in symptoms and characteristics between migraines and sinus headaches.
