Granted
The Board granted a rating of 10 percent, but no higher, for chronic tonsillitis based on the Veteran's symptoms including intermittent productive cough with acute infection requiring a course of antibiotics at least twice a year.
The deciding factor: The evidence more nearly approximates the criteria for a 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 6601 due to the Veteran's symptoms of an intermittent productive cough and the need for antibiotic treatment at least twice a year.
