Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable evaluation for chronic maxillary sinusitis, finding that his symptoms did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show any incapacitating episodes or three or more non-incapacitating episodes of sinusitis per year as required for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 6513.
