Granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 10 percent for the Veteran's service-connected allergic rhinitis due to permanent hypertrophy of the nasal turbinates.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms and examination findings more closely align with a 10 percent rating under DC 6522, as he has permanent hypertrophy of the nasal turbinates but does not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
