The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for non-allergic rhinitis as the evidence did not show a greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction.

The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not establish a higher, 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 6522 for the period on appeal due to minimal functional impairment and lack of greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction.
