The Veteran's claim for service connection for endometriosis has been reopened and is now considered on its merits.,The Veteran's chronic allergic rhinitis is currently rated as non-compensable.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's current conditions are related to her military service, including exposure to any presumptive conditions such as Agent Orange or Camp Lejeune. The Board finds that the Veteran's endometriosis is at least as likely as not related to her service and has assigned it service connection. However, the Veteran's chronic allergic rhinitis does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under applicable diagnostic codes.
