Partly granted
The Board granted restoration of the 10 percent evaluation for sinusitis, effective November 7, 2022, and remanded the issues of entitlement to an increased rating for a sinusitis condition and a compensable evaluation for allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The reduction from a 10 percent evaluation to noncompensable for sinusitis was found to be improper due to lack of evidence showing actual improvement under ordinary conditions of work and life, and the Veteran's symptoms were not adequately addressed in the VA examinations.
