Granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right foot scars due to bunionectomies, an initial 30 percent rating for sinusitis, and a 10 percent rating for rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated the criteria for higher ratings than those currently assigned, warranting increased ratings.
