Granted
The Board granted service connection for sinusitis, finding it to be presumptively related to the Veteran's service in Southwest Asia during the Gulf War.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's diagnosed sinusitis is presumptively related to his service due to exposure to fine particulate matter and onset within 10 years of discharge.
