Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic sinusitis, but denied service connection for deviated septum and hypertrophied nasal turbinates.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance as to the causal relationship between the Veteran's current sinusitis disability and his in-service events and injury. However, there was no persuasive evidence linking the deviated septum or hypertrophied nasal turbinates to service.
