Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for chronic sinusitis, as there was no evidence of three or more incapacitating episodes per year requiring prolonged antibiotic treatment, or six non-incapacitating episodes per year characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 6513 as there were no incapacitating episodes of sinusitis noted or discussed within the record, and only two non-incapacitating episodes per year were reported.
