Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 0 percent for respiratory issues, to include rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show greater than 50 percent obstruction of nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side, or polyps, which are required for a higher rating under the applicable diagnostic code.
