Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for chronic sinusitis as the evidence did not support one or two incapacitating episodes of sinusitis requiring prolonged antibiotic treatment, or three to six non-incapacitating episodes of sinusitis characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence most closely approximated the criteria for a noncompensable rating as there were no incapacitating episodes of sinusitis requiring prolonged antibiotic treatment, nor three to six non-incapacitating episodes of sinusitis characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting.
