Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral tinnitus, chronic fatigue syndrome, bilateral restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, tremors of the hands-bilateral, left knee condition, right knee condition, and a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss. However, it granted service connection for chronic headaches.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a finding of a causal relationship between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service or toxic exposure risk activity in Southwest Asia.
