Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for chronic rhinitis and remanded the claim for service connection for sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a compensable rating for chronic rhinitis, as there was no 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side. The Board found an inadequate TERA opinion for the sinusitis claim and remanded it for further development.
