The Board denied compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for left and right knee disabilities, a compensable rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae, and a compensable rating for allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had current diagnoses of knee disability or functional impairment in either knee, nor was there any indication of a medication prescribed for a knee disability or treatment for any knee disability. For pseudofolliculitis barbae and allergic rhinitis, the criteria for compensable ratings were not met.
