The appeal for issues related to eczema, IBS, headaches, liver disability, enlarged prostate and urinary frequency, allergic rhinitis, and restrictive lung disease were dismissed. The claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent for allergic rhinitis was denied.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's allergic rhinitis met the criteria for a higher rating as it did not include polyps or greater than 50% obstruction on both sides, which are required for a 30% rating.
