DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied service connection for sinusitis because the evidence did not show that the veteran had symptoms attributable to sinusitis during the pendency of the claim.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner attributed the Veteran's upper respiratory symptoms to allergic rhinitis, not sinusitis.
