The Veteran withdrew the claim for an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for allergic rhinitis, and the appeal was dismissed.

The Board denied an initial compensable rating for the Veteran's service-connected rhinitis as there was no evidence of more than 50 percent obstruction of either nasal passage or polyps.

The Board remands the claim for a sinus condition, to include allergic rhinitis, due to a need for a VA examination to determine if the Veteran's current condition is related to service.

The Board granted an effective date of August 10, 2022, for the grant of service connection for chronic sinusitis and allergic rhinitis based on the passage of the PACT Act.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased evaluations and service connection, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating or establish service connection.

The veteran withdrew the appeals for service connection for rhinitis, a left foot disorder, and a right foot disorder.

The Board remands the claims for service connection for allergic rhinitis and asthma due to inadequate medical opinions and potential relevant records from Social Security Administration.

The Board denied service connection for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and allergic rhinitis as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.

The Veteran withdrew all pending claims and appeals, resulting in the dismissal of the appeal.

The Board remands the claims for service connection and increased ratings for a headache disability, allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis due to insufficient evidence in the record.

The Board also remanded the claim for an initial compensable disability rating for allergic rhinitis.
