The Board granted a 30 percent disability rating for the veteran's service-connected allergic rhinosinusitis, effective from January 18, 1995. The appeal was denied for an increased rating or an earlier effective date.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher evaluation as there were no findings of severe symptoms or complications warranting a higher rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
