Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) was denied. The claim for service connection for sinusitis was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The decision on PFB was based on the lack of evidence showing the condition affected at least 5 percent of the body or required systemic therapy; the sinusitis claim was remanded due to an inadequate VA examination opinion.
