Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial compensable disability rating for his service-connected allergic rhinitis, as there was no evidence of greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's allergic rhinitis did not meet the criteria for a compensable disability rating due to lack of evidence showing greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side.
