The Veteran's allergic rhinitis was granted service connection. The right wrist condition, right shoulder condition, and chest condition were denied as not incurred in or aggravated by service.

The deciding factor: Service records show complaints of allergy symptoms during active duty but no current diagnosis or treatment for these conditions post-service.
