Partly granted
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for sinusitis and remanded the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of incapacitating episodes or non-incapacitating episodes that met the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 6513. The Board also found an inadequate VA examination related to OSA and remanded it for further development.
