Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for non-allergic rhinitis on a direct basis prior to August 10, 2022, and for ED as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected prostate cancer. A 30 percent rating was also granted for the cervical spine disability.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's non-allergic rhinitis is due to in-service exposure to environmental toxins, and his ED is related to his service-connected prostate cancer.
