Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for allergic rhinitis and remanded the issue of entitlement to service connection for sinusitis due to a duty-to-assist error.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively weigh in favor of finding that the Veteran's allergic rhinitis had its onset during active service or was otherwise caused by active service, including exposure to herbicide agents (Agent Orange).
