The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic sinusitis, and lumbosacral strain but granted service connection for dermatitis as secondary to allergic rhinitis. The Board also granted a separate 10 percent rating for left foot plantar fasciitis and a 20 percent rating for cervical strain from May 31, 2024.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence supporting a direct or secondary relationship to service for most conditions, with the exception of dermatitis as secondary to allergic rhinitis.
