Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 10 percent, but no higher, for chronic sinusitis and denied a disability rating greater than 30 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the presence of three or more non-incapacitating episodes per year with symptoms of headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting for chronic sinusitis. For PTSD, the evidence did not support occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.
