Partly granted
The Board denied a rating higher than 30 percent for sinusitis but granted an earlier effective date of May 20, 2023, for the grant of a 30 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported more than six non-incapacitating episodes per year of sinusitis characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting since May 20, 2023, justifying an earlier effective date for the grant of a 30 percent rating.
