Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for chronic sinusitis and denied a higher rating, while also denying an increased rating for allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The service-connected chronic sinusitis was rated based on the number of non-incapacitating episodes per year, which met the criteria for a 30 percent rating. The allergic rhinitis with nasal polyps did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under the applicable diagnostic code.
