Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for chronic sinusitis under the PACT Act and a 30 percent disability rating for right shoulder rotator cuff tendonitis, impingement syndrome, and glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis beginning April 22, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's chronic sinusitis was granted based on the presumption of exposure to burn pits during service under the PACT Act. The right shoulder condition was granted due to evidence showing limitation of motion and functional loss consistent with a 30 percent rating.
