Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted an effective date of August 10, 2022 for the award of service connection for chronic sinusitis but denied earlier effective dates and initial compensable ratings for hearing loss and lymphomas. The claims for a back disability, thyroid disability, gallbladder disability, and a 10 percent evaluation under 38 C.F.R. § 3.324 were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the grant of service connection for chronic sinusitis based on the PACT Act but did not support earlier effective dates or initial compensable ratings for hearing loss and lymphomas, among other issues.
