Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and a neck disability, while remanding claims for sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, prostate cancer, and benign prostate hypertrophy.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of a current disability or in-service incurrence for the claimed conditions, except for sinusitis which had an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence.
