Denied
The Board denied service connection for sinusitis and a higher rating for allergic rhinitis, as the evidence did not support a current diagnosis of chronic sinusitis or greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides.
The deciding factor: The C&P examiners concluded that there is no radiographic evidence indicating chronic sinusitis, and the Veteran's allergic rhinitis does not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 6522.
