Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for maxillary and ethmoid sinusitis, headaches, and an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for GERD due to insufficient medical evidence.
The deciding factor: Insufficient medical evidence was provided regarding whether the Veteran's sinusitis is aggravated by his service-connected UPPP or whether his headaches are related to his maxillary and ethmoid sinusitis. Additionally, a retrospective opinion on how medication affects GERD symptomology is needed.
