Granted
The Board granted a 50 percent disability rating for chronic sinusitis for the entire initial rating period on appeal, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows near constant sinusitis characterized by headaches, pain and tenderness of the affected sinus, and purulent discharge or crusting after surgery, which most closely approximates the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 6513.
