The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable disability rating for chronic sinusitis, as the evidence did not support the criteria for a 10 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence was against a finding that the Veteran's chronic sinusitis had manifested as one or two incapacitating episodes per year requiring antibiotic treatment for 4-6 weeks, or three to six non-incapacitating episodes per year characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or crusting.
