Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a bilateral flatfoot condition but denied an initial compensable disability rating for allergic rhinitis and remanded claims for service connection for right, left hip, and back disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's allergic rhinitis did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating due to lack of obstruction or polyps. The bilateral flatfoot condition was found to have incurred during active service, while other claims were remanded for further evidence.
