Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for sinusitis and remanded the remaining claims for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of sinusitis, and the VA examiner attributed symptoms to allergic rhinitis. The headaches were found less likely than not related to service or secondary to allergies.
