Granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 50 percent rating for sinusitis, from September 1, 2023, as the reduction was not based on an adequate examination.
The deciding factor: The June 2023 VA examination and opinion were inadequate due to their failure to address the specific issue of whether the Veteran's sinusitis had improved or remained as severe as indicated in the March 2022 VA examination, leading to improper reduction of the rating.
