Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic sinusitis with an effective date of August 5, 2021, and a 10 percent rating for chronic allergic rhinitis beginning from the same date. The claim for a higher rating was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran met eligibility criteria for service connection for chronic sinusitis as of August 5, 2021, due to presumed exposure during service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations.
