Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for chronic pansinusitis, as the ratings assigned constitute the evaluation of the same sinus disability under various diagnoses.
The deciding factor: A rating in excess of 30 percent for chronic pansinusitis may not be assigned because the ratings assigned for service-connected chronic pansinusitis and 'sinus headaches associated with chronic pansinusitis' constitute the evaluation of the same sinus disability under various diagnoses.
