Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of April 18, 2012, for the award of service connection for allergic rhinitis but remanded the issue of entitlement to an initial compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The June 2011 claim for sinusitis reasonably encompassed the disability of allergic rhinitis identified on VA examination conducted April 18, 2012; that examination report contained a nexus opinion and constituted the date entitlement arose.
