Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right carpal tunnel syndrome, right and left knee disabilities, and an initial rating of 30 percent for chronic sinusitis and 10 percent for chronic rhinitis. The claim for a compensable rating for tension headaches associated with cervical spine strain was denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's service records and medical evidence showing that his bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, bilateral knee disabilities, and chronic sinusitis were related to his military service, while his tension headaches did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
