Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for sinusitis as the evidence did not support a finding of one to two incapacitating episodes per year or three to six non-incapacitating episodes per year.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing one to two incapacitating episodes per year or three to six non-incapacitating episodes per year of sinusitis requiring prolonged antibiotic treatment or characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting.
