Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent disability evaluation for sinusitis but denied compensable evaluations for allergic rhinitis and coronary artery disease, and remanded the claim for service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's sinusitis met the criteria for a 30 percent rating due to three or more incapacitating episodes per year requiring prolonged antibiotic treatment. The other conditions did not meet the necessary criteria for compensable ratings.
