Granted
The Board granted service connection for sinusitis, finding it related to the Veteran's active service in Afghanistan.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's documented deployment to Afghanistan and a subsequent diagnosis of chronic sinusitis, which is presumed to be related to particulate matter exposure during service.
