Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sinusitis and remanded the claims of entitlement to service connection for migraine headaches and a gastrointestinal disability, to include GERD, IBS, constipation, and gastritis.
The deciding factor: The appellant's currently diagnosed sinusitis is related to environmental exposures during service. Migraine headaches were readjudicated based on new evidence showing a current diagnosis of a headache disorder and exposure to a toxic exposure risk activity (TERA) during service.
