The Board has restored the Veteran's disability evaluation for nasal polyps from 30 percent to noncompensable, effective December 1, 2011.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show improvement in the Veteran's service-connected nasal polyps and his symptoms continued to meet the criteria for a 30 percent evaluation.
