Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for allergic rhinitis under the PACT Act but denied service connection for chronic sinusitis.
The deciding factor: Service connection for allergic rhinitis was granted due to presumptive exposure to fine particulate matter during service in the Southwest Asia theatre of operations, while chronic sinusitis was not supported by a current diagnosis and evidence.
