The Board has granted the veteran's claim for service connection for vasomotor symptoms secondary to her hysterectomy. The initial disability rating for sinusitis with seasonal allergies remains at 30 percent, as there is no evidence of incapacitating episodes or chronic osteomyelitis.
The deciding factor: There was no objective medical evidence showing that the veteran's sinusitis required prolonged antibiotic treatment or necessitated surgical intervention, which would warrant a higher disability rating.
