Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic sinusitis, finding that the evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether the condition had onset in service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on credible lay evidence of in-service symptoms and ongoing symptomatology, despite negative etiological opinions from VA clinicians.
