Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to service connection for sinusitis as an adequate medical opinion is needed.
The deciding factor: The December 2014 VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate due to reliance on the absence of service treatment records without considering the Veteran's lay statements and the inaccurate factual premise regarding toxic exposure during service.
