Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 10 percent for allergic rhinitis and remanded the claim for service connection for bilateral pes planus.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's allergic rhinitis more nearly approximates greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passages on both sides, but no evidence of polyps is present. The Board found that a direct service connection opinion was not requested and thus remanded the claim for bilateral pes planus.
