DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for allergic rhinitis and a higher rating for the condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's allergic rhinitis had manifested as nasal polyps, which would have warranted a higher rating under DC 6522. Additionally, an effective date prior to August 10, 2022, was not allowed under the PACT Act.
