Partly granted
The Board dismissed the claim for service connection for rhinitis as it was granted in full. The appeal was denied for an increased rating of sinusitis and a 40 percent initial disability rating was granted for chronic fatigue syndrome.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for higher ratings under the applicable diagnostic codes.
