Partly granted
The Board denied increased disability evaluations for maxillary and frontal sinusitis, but granted a 10 percent initial evaluation for allergic rhinitis effective August 23, 2021.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the criteria for higher ratings due to the frequency of non-incapacitating episodes and lack of incapacitating episodes in maxillary and frontal sinusitis; however, it supported a 10 percent rating for allergic rhinitis based on symptoms and treatment.
