Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for rhinitis as the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 6522.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's rhinitis was found to not more nearly approximate greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side, nor nasal polyps, which are required for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 6522.
