Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for allergic rhinitis as there was no evidence of greater than 50 percent obstruction of nasal passages on both sides or complete obstruction on one side, and no polyps.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran did not have greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides due to his rhinitis, nor did he have complete obstruction of his left or right side due to rhinitis. Moreover, the Veteran did not have nasal polyps.
