Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable evaluation for non-allergic rhinitis as there was no evidence of a greater than 50 percent obstruction of nasal passages on both sides or complete obstruction on one side, and no polyps.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA examiner found that the Veteran did not have a greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides due to rhinitis, nor was there any evidence of polyps upon examination.
