Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for cervical strain, traumatic brain injury with migraine headaches, and left ankle disability. The claim for a higher rating for allergic rhinitis was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's current conditions were related to an in-service motor vehicle accident (MVA), while there was no evidence of nasal polyps to support a higher rating for allergic rhinitis.
