Denied
The Board denied a compensable initial rating for the Veteran's service-connected sinusitis as the evidence did not support one or two incapacitating episodes per year, or three to six non-incapacitating episodes per year.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish the requisite disability picture to warrant a compensable initial rating based on the frequency and severity of the Veteran's symptoms.
