DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for the veteran's service-connected chronic sinusitis. The evidence showed that the veteran's sinusitis did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The veteran did not experience the required number of incapacitating or non-incapacitating episodes of sinusitis within the review period.
