Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 30 percent rating for chronic sinusitis, but no higher, from June 13, 2018.
The deciding factor: The evidence was approximately evenly balanced and the criteria for a 30 percent rating were met due to more than six non-incapacitating episodes per year of sinusitis characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting.
