Granted
The Board granted presumptive service connection for allergic rhinitis based on the Veteran's presumed exposure to fine, particulate matter during his service in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait.
The deciding factor: Presumptive service connection was warranted due to the Veteran's presumed exposure to fine, particulate matter and the current diagnosis of allergic rhinitis without an intercurrent etiology.
