Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of sinusitis is remanded. The Board found that the Veteran was not properly notified of his right to a hearing before the initial decision.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was not provided notice of his right to a hearing before the Agency of Original Jurisdiction issued its initial decision, which prevented him from making a fully informed decision on his review options.
