Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an increased disability rating for chronic sinusitis, keeping it at 10%. The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing more than five non-incapacitating episodes per year.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not experience incapacitating episodes and has no more than five non-incapacitating episodes characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting.
