Granted
The Board granted service connection for a vestibular disability, a headache disability secondary to the vestibular disability, obstructive sleep apnea secondary to service-connected disabilities, bilateral pes planus aggravated during service, and bilateral plantar fasciitis. The claim for chronic sinusitis was denied.
The deciding factor: The most persuasive evidence supported that the Veteran's vestibular disability, headaches, obstructive sleep apnea, bilateral pes planus, and bilateral plantar fasciitis were related to or caused by his service, while the evidence did not support a finding of chronic sinusitis.
