Denied
The Veteran's claims for increased ratings, service connection, and TDIU have been denied. The Veteran was granted a compensable evaluation for allergic rhinitis from June 20, 2018, and a 30% evaluation for reactive airway disease prior to November 28, 2017. A 10% evaluation was granted for restless leg syndrome.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected conditions did not meet the criteria for higher ratings based on their severity or specific manifestations.
