Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA examination to address the Veteran's assertions of ongoing sinus issues since service and to consider all relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The March 2022 and December 2023 VA examinations are found inadequate due to their failure to adequately address the Veteran's statements regarding his in-service onset of sinus problems and the consistency of post-service treatment records.
