Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for chronic cough, earaches, and fatigue were denied. However, the veteran's previous 10 percent rating for sinusitis was restored.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a current diagnosis of chronic cough, earaches, or fatigue, but the reduction in the sinusitis rating was improperly made.
