Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, and GERD but granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Some issues related to other conditions were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence supporting a current disability or a link between the claimed disabilities and active service, except for OSA which met the criteria for direct service connection.
