Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for the Veteran's allergic rhinitis as it did not meet the criteria for a 10 percent evaluation.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA examination and review of treatment records showed no greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passages or polyps, which are required for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 6522.
