Denied
The Board denied the claims for a rating in excess of 30 percent for headaches and an initial compensable rating for sinusitis due to the Veteran's failure to report for scheduled VA examinations without good cause.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to attend his scheduled VA examinations, and no good cause was shown. As such, the claims were denied as a matter of law under 38 C.F.R. § 3.655(b).
