Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 30 percent rating for chronic frontal/ethmoid sinusitis, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran. The other claims were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a factually ascertainable increase in disability within one year prior to the claim date, and thus the earliest effective date was June 18, 2022.
