Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for sinusitis, vertigo/disbalance, and a thyroid disorder but remanded claims for allergic rhinitis, left tonsil cancer, headache disorder, pulmonary granulomatosis, and dysphagia.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show current diagnoses of the claimed conditions during or after service, and thus, service connection was denied. For some claims, further development is needed to address potential secondary causes related to a service-connected condition.
