Partly granted
The Board granted a 100 percent rating for obstructive lung disease and denied an earlier effective date, a compensable rating for rhinitis, and an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's obstructive lung disease manifested in FEV-1 levels that warranted a 100 percent rating, while his rhinitis did not meet criteria for a compensable rating.
