Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for sinusitis based on the PACT Act, but denied service connection for fallen arches in both feet.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of current disability for fallen arches, while sinusitis was presumed to be related to in-service exposure to burn pits and other toxic substances during active-duty service in Southwest Asia theater of operations.
