Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable disability rating for service-connected allergic rhinitis as there was no evidence of a 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 VA examiner specifically noted that the Veteran did not have obstruction of 50 percent or greater on both sides, or complete obstruction on one side, and there were no polyps present.
