Dismissed
The appeal of the proposed decreased rating for service-connected migraines was withdrawn and dismissed, while a higher (compensable) initial rating for the service-connected allergic rhinitis was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show nasal polyps or greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side, which are required for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 6522.
