Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board denied service connection for sinusitis and remanded the claim for further development regarding entitlement to service connection for melanoma.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is persuasively against a finding that the Veteran has had sinusitis at any time during, or approximate to, the pendency of the claim. The Board finds it less likely than not that the Veteran's melanoma is caused by his conceded toxic exposures.
