The Board denied service connection for sinusitis, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and a higher disability rating for allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities related to the claimed conditions during active service or within the relevant time frame. The VA examinations and medical records did not provide sufficient evidence to establish a causal relationship between the Veteran's military service and the claimed conditions.
