Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for chronic sinusitis as there were no incapacitating episodes requiring prolonged antibiotic treatment or three to six non-incapacitating episodes per year of sinusitis characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner reported that the Veteran did not experience any incapacitating episodes in the past 12 months nor did he have more than one or two non-incapacitating episodes requiring prolonged antibiotic treatment.
