Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an initial compensable disability rating for service-connected rhinitis and entitlement to service connection for sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had greater than 50% obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side, nor was there sufficient evidence to establish a diagnosis of sinusitis during the pendency of the claim.
