Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted an effective date of August 5, 2021 for the award of service connection for sinusitis and an initial rating of 30 percent for GERD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's sinusitis met the criteria for a presumption of service connection due to exposure during the Persian Gulf War, and he filed his supplemental claim within one year of the effective date of this liberalizing law.
