Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent from April 2, 2015, and in excess of 0 percent from December 3, 2020, for sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's sinusitis warranted a higher rating during either period due to the lack of incapacitating episodes or more than six non-incapacitating episodes per year characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting.
