Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 50 percent for pansinusitis and 30 percent for allergic rhinitis, but denied earlier effective dates for the awards of service connection.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's conditions manifested with near constant sinusitis symptoms and polyps, which warranted higher ratings when considering reasonable doubt in his favor.
