Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a rating higher than 10% for sinusitis. The decision was based on insufficient evidence of severe symptoms.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not have three or more incapacitating episodes per year requiring prolonged antibiotic treatment, or more than six non-incapacitating episodes per year characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting.
