Denied
The Board denied a compensable disability rating for the Veteran's service-connected allergic rhinitis as there was no evidence of greater than 50-percent obstruction of nasal passage on both sides, complete obstruction on one side, or polyps.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation under Diagnostic Code 6522 due to lack of specific findings such as polyps, greater than 50 percent obstruction of nasal passages, or complete obstruction on one side.
