Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for chronic sinusitis to schedule an examination and obtain a medical opinion, as new evidence has been submitted after the AOJ's decision.
The deciding factor: The existence of new evidence requires a readjudication of the claim to determine its likely etiology in relation to military service, including exposure to burn pits.
