Denied
The Board denied increased ratings for herpes simplex, allergic rhinitis, bilateral hearing loss, right ankle fracture, and left varicocele.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a higher rating as the Veteran's conditions were well-controlled with medication or did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under applicable diagnostic codes.
