Denied
The Board denied service connection for a back condition, numbness left upper extremity, allergic rhinitis, bilateral foot condition, BHL, ED, insomnia, and sinusitis. The only granted issue was service connection for hypertension.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a nexus between the Veteran's current disabilities and their in-service incurrences or exposures.
