GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for chronic sinusitis based on the Veteran's Persian Gulf War service and exposure to fine particulate matter, pursuant to the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's chronic sinusitis is presumed to be related to his service due to the application of the PACT Act, which removed the 10-year manifestation requirement for this condition in the Southwest Asia theater of operations during the Persian Gulf War.
