Partly grantedPACT Act
The Veteran's appeal for service connection for sinusitis was dismissed. The appeals for service connection for left knee, right knee, and lower back disabilities, as well as an increased rating for a left inguinal hernia, were remanded.
The deciding factor: The dismissal of the sinusitis claim was due to the Veteran's withdrawal of the appeal; the remands were due to errors in obtaining complete service treatment records and the need for new medical opinions.
