Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a compensable evaluation for non-allergic rhinitis, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found no more than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passages on both sides or complete obstruction on one side due to non-allergic rhinitis, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 6522.
