The Board granted service connection for chronic sinusitis and denied a separate compensable evaluation for an undiagnosed respiratory condition.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's chronic sinusitis began during her active-duty service, while the undiagnosed respiratory condition did not warrant a separate rating due to coexisting service-connected OSA.
