Denied
The Board denied a compensable evaluation for allergic rhinitis as the evidence did not show greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side.
The deciding factor: The VA examination and other evidence of record failed to indicate any symptoms at all of rhinitis, thus failing to meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 6522.
