The Board granted an initial 10 percent rating for sinusitis prior to August 25, 2022, and denied a rating in excess of 30 percent from that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be at least as likely as not commensurate with the frequency of incapacitating episodes supporting a minimum compensable evaluation for sinusitis prior to August 25, 2022, but evidence did not support an even higher rating. From that date, seven or more non-incapacitating episodes were documented, which does not warrant a higher rating.
