Granted
The Board granted an effective date of May 16, 2022, for the award of service connection for allergic rhinitis based on the Veteran meeting eligibility criteria under a liberalizing law.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's claim being received within one year after the effective date of a liberalizing VA law that provided presumptive service connection for allergic rhinitis in association with exposure to fine particulate matter during Gulf War service.
