The Board granted service connection for a sinus disorder based on the Veteran's credible reports of continuous symptoms since service and the lack of evidence disassociating his current condition from his in-service nasal injury.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's reported continuity of symptomatology was credible, and there was no sufficient evidence to disassociate his current sinus disorder from his in-service nasal injury.
