Denied
The Board denied service connection for a psychiatric disability, lung disability, and heart disability. The claims for migraines/sinus headaches, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and sleep apnea were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not support the existence of current disabilities related to active military service or events therein, and there was no clear and unmistakable evidence that any pre-existing conditions were aggravated by service.
