The Board dismissed the claims for service connection for a respiratory disability, hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), and sinusitis due to lack of evidence supporting current disabilities.
The deciding factor: There is no valid rating decision to appeal within the one year prior to the June 22, 2024 VA Form 10182 regarding the claim for service connection for a respiratory disability. Hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) is not considered a disability for VA purposes and there is no evidence of a current sinusitis disability.
