Partly granted
The Board restored the 30 percent rating for allergic rhinitis, finding that the reduction was improper. The claim for a higher rating for right elbow epicondylitis with limited flexion was denied.
The deciding factor: The reduction in rating for allergic rhinitis was found to be improper due to failure to comply with applicable regulations and lack of evidence showing sustained improvement. For the right elbow, there was no sufficient evidence to warrant a higher rating based on current findings.
