Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for service connection of sinusitis to obtain an addendum opinion addressing whether the Veteran's acute sinusitis is a seasonal and/or other acute allergic manifestation or if it is related to his reported in-service exposures.
The deciding factor: The reasoning behind the decision is that there is insufficient evidence to determine if the Veteran's acute sinusitis meets the definition of an allergic manifestation, and further clarification is needed regarding its relation to his reported in-service toxic exposure risks.
