Partly granted
Service connection for the veteran's recurrent ingrown toenails of the right big toe was granted. A higher rating for allergic rhinitis was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supports a secondary service connection for the toenail condition due to diabetes, but there is no evidence of nasal polyps for a higher rating of allergic rhinitis.
