Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for residuals of granulomatous disease and an initial rating of at least 10 percent for sinusitis, while remanding the claims for a brain tumor and an increased rating for sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's sinusitis met the criteria for a 10 percent rating due to three or more non-incapacitating episodes per year. The granulomatous disease was granted under the PACT Act presumption for service in Somalia.
