  • Entitlement to service connection for a sinus disorderRemanded

Board reasoning

The Board remands to complete development, citing repeated remand history and incomplete VA records, and requests an ENT clinician to assess etiology in light of in-service accidents and post-service findings. The Board emphasizes the need to address lay statements and earlier treatment records (e.g., February 1980 deviated septum and early sinusitis) in forming a new opinion responsive to remand directives.
