Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 10 percent for sinusitis based on the evidence showing three to six non-incapacitating episodes per year characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 private examination provided sufficient evidence that the Veteran experiences three to six non-incapacitating episodes of sinusitis per year with symptoms as described, warranting a 10 percent rating under DC 6513.
