Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for chronic sinusitis with sinus headaches, to include rhinitis, and denied service connection for a separate headache disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of chronic sinusitis are already adequately compensated by the current 30 percent rating, and his headache symptoms are manifestations of his service-connected chronic sinusitis.
