Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for sinusitis due to a need for further development and an adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that there is a duty to assist error in not verifying the nature of the Veteran's service prior to issuing the rating decision on appeal, as well as an inadequate VA medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's sinusitis.
