Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for maxillary sinusitis and remanded the service connection claims for rhinitis, bronchitis, and asthma.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's maxillary sinusitis did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to lack of evidence supporting chronic or incapacitating episodes. The Board found that the Veteran's pre-existing rhinitis was aggravated by his active service, but other claims were remanded for further development.
