Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sinusitis to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as no medical opinion addressing the etiology of the condition has been obtained.
The deciding factor: The AOJ did not obtain a VA medical opinion and failed to undertake necessary development of the Veteran's National Guard service records, which are required to properly adjudicate the claim.
