Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a compensable rating for maxillary sinusitis because the evidence did not show incapacitating episodes requiring prolonged treatment or non-incapacitating episodes characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing incapacitating or non-incapacitating episodes of sinusitis as defined by regulation.
