Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for rhinitis and sinusitis to obtain a more complete VA examination.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 VA examination opinion was found incomplete as it did not address relevant evidence of record, including diagnoses of sinusitis and rhinitis and the use of Flonase, and provided contradictory findings.
