Denied
The Board denied service connection for sinusitis because the evidence did not show that the condition was related to the veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion, which found it less likely than not that the current acute sinusitis was related to an incident of service, carried significant weight and was the most persuasive evidence of record.
