Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date and a compensable rating for frontal and ethmoid sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the veteran had any incapacitating episodes or more than three non-incapacitating episodes of sinusitis per year, which would warrant a 10 percent rating under the applicable criteria.
