The Board denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for chronic sinusitis and remanded the claim for a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be encompassed by the current 50 percent rating, and an additional examination was required for the low back disorder due to insufficient information provided during the last VA examination.
