Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial compensable rating for sinusitis as there was no evidence of incapacitating or non-incapacitating episodes during a one-year period that were characterized by headaches, pain, and purulent discharge or by crusting.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show any incapacitating or non-incapacitating episodes of sinusitis during the appeal period as required for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 6513.
