Partly granted
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for low back injury, denied service connection for sinusitis and allergic rhinitis, and denied a higher disability rating for PTSD. The claim for service connection for pain of left shoulder was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of sinusitis or symptoms warranting a compensable rating for allergic rhinitis, and the Veteran's PTSD did not meet the criteria for a 100 percent disability rating.
