Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic sinusitis and remanded the issues of entitlement to a compensable evaluation for allergic rhinitis and maxillary mucus retention cysts.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support that the Veteran had chronic sinusitis during or proximate to the pendency of his claim, as his symptoms were more consistent with allergic rhinitis and maxillary cysts.
