Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a retrospective medical opinion to assess the current severity of the Veteran's chronic sinusitis without considering the ameliorative effects of any medication taken to treat this condition.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examination is not adequate to determine the current severity of the Veteran's chronic sinusitis, and the propriety of the rating reduction from 30 percent to noncompensable due to potential misinterpretation of the ameliorative effects of medication.
