Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of sinusitis/rhinitis to obtain an adequate medical opinion addressing the relationship between the Veteran's condition and her service.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 VA opinion was found inadequate due to internal inconsistencies, failure to consider lay statements, and lack of a reasoned explanation connecting the evidence with the conclusion.
