The Veteran's claims for service connection for allergic rhinitis and migraines have been closed due to lack of new and material evidence.,A disability rating of 10% for lumbar strain has been restored, but the Veteran's claim for an increased rating remains pending.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not submit sufficient new and material evidence to reopen his claims for service connection for allergic rhinitis and migraines. The VA examination results regarding the back condition were insufficient to determine if a higher disability rating was warranted.
