Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable disability rating for non-allergic rhinitis and remanded claims for service connection for a neck disability and sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's rhinitis did not meet the criteria for a compensable disability rating, while the evidence was insufficient to establish a nexus between the claimed disabilities and service for the other issues.
