Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic headaches, CFS, IBS, bilateral restless leg syndrome, vertigo, GAD, persistent depressive disorder, and tinnitus. The appeal was denied for an increased rating in excess of 30 percent for chronic sinusitis and a compensable rating for allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a positive nexus between the Veteran's claimed conditions and his active duty service, granting service connection for all conditions. The criteria for higher ratings were not met based on the medical evidence provided.
