Question
yelloownumber5
I was denied in 2006 for sinusitis.
"Service conneciton is denied.
You were seen multiple time for sinus infections while you were on active duty, primarily as a result of the allergic rhinitis. A CT Scan conducted in Nov 02, did not show chronic sinusitis was the cause of the sinus infections. The main cause of the sinusitis was the deviated septum.
The current medical evidence shows you still have recurrent sinus infections, but again, there is no evidence that this is cause by sinusitis. Service connection for sinusitis is denied because of the medical evidence of record fail to show that this disability has been clinically diagnosed."
The C&P examiner in 2005 said "septum is midline". Isn't a diagnosis of sinusitis good enough for this claim?
Thanks,
Yelloow
