Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial compensable rating for sinusitis, as there was no evidence of incapacitating episodes requiring prolonged antibiotic treatment or three to six non-incapacitating episodes per year.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA examination and other medical records did not show the required number of incapacitating or non-incapacitating episodes of sinusitis during the relevant appeal period.
