Denied
The Board denied a compensable evaluation for the Veteran's allergic rhinitis as there was no evidence of polyps or greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passages on both sides or complete obstruction on one side.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 VA examiner found no polyps and that there was neither 50 percent obstruction of both nasal passages nor complete obstruction of one passage, which did not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation under Diagnostic Code 6522.
