Partly granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 50 percent for sinusitis from July 18, 2023 forward and denied a higher initial rating prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated the criteria for a 50 percent disability rating beginning on July 18, 2023, due to near constant sinusitis characterized by headaches, pain, tenderness, purulent discharge or crusting after repeated surgeries.
