Partly grantedPACT Act
The veteran's service connection for sinusitis was granted with an effective date of October 14, 2014. However, the request for a higher rating than 10 percent was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's chronic sinusitis is caused by airborne exposures during active-duty service, warranting an earlier effective date but not a higher rating due to insufficient incapacitating episodes.
