Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sinusitis and rhinitis with an effective date of August 5, 2021, and a 10 percent rating for sinusitis but denied a compensable rating for rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's claims being received within one year of the effective date of a liberalizing law that established presumptive service connection for these disabilities in Gulf War veterans.
