Granted
The Board granted service connection for sinusitis, finding a relationship between the Veteran's condition and toxic exposure during active duty.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's sinusitis is at least as likely as not caused by in-service toxic exposure, specifically due to burn pit activity while serving in the Navy.
