Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic sinusitis and chronic fatigue syndrome, but denied an increased rating for bronchitis and allergic rhinitis. The remaining claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the presumption of exposure to environmental hazards during service in Southwest Asia and medical evidence supporting a link between the claimed conditions and active service.
