Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for allergic rhinitis and remanded claims for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and asthma, as the evidence failed to demonstrate a link between these conditions and the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 private medical opinion was found insufficient due to inaccurate timeline of symptoms onset, while VA medical opinions concluded that there is no causal relationship with in-service exposures.
