Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sinusitis, to include as due to an undiagnosed illness, for additional development.
The deciding factor: The VA examination reports and opinions are inadequate for adjudication purposes, and a TERA opinion is warranted given the Veteran's service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations during the Gulf War Era.
