Granted
The Board granted restoration of service connection for sinusitis and allergic rhinitis, effective November 1, 2022. Basic eligibility for DEA benefits was also restored.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the severance of service connection was improper because the finding that the Veteran's conditions were directly related to service was not a clear and unmistakable error.
