Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for dry eye syndrome of the left eye and right hip strain, but denied increased ratings for multiple conditions including lumbar spine strain, right lower extremity radiculopathy, cervical spine condition, allergic rhinitis, and hearing loss. The claims for chronic fatigue syndrome, right hand tremors, left hand tremors, residuals of TBI, cervicogenic headaches, and parasthesia of the maxillary left anterior buccal gingiva were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence supporting a direct relationship between the Veteran's current conditions and their in-service experiences or service-connected disabilities.
