The Board granted a disability evaluation of 30 percent for the Veteran's headaches, but denied service connection for lumbar spine, right hip, and right lower extremity nerve disabilities. The claims for PTSD, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, tinnitus, and hearing loss were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran did not have a current disability related to his claimed conditions except for headaches which met the criteria for a 30 percent evaluation based on prostrating attacks occurring monthly. The claims for service connection were denied due to lack of evidence supporting a current diagnosis or in-service incurrence.
