Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for sinusitis, finding no persuasive evidence linking his current condition to herbicide exposure during service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was probative and supported by relevant medical literature, concluding that the Veteran's sinusitis was less likely than not caused by in-service herbicide exposure.
