Denied
The Board denied service connection for sinusitis and denied initial compensable ratings for rhinitis, tension headaches, and remanded the claim for a lower lumbar strain.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current diagnosis of sinusitis or that the Veteran's symptoms met the criteria for a higher rating for rhinitis, tension headaches, or service connection for a lower lumbar strain.
