Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for a painful scar, allergic rhinitis, and tinnitus. The claim for right thigh limitation of flexion was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an increase in the rating for any of the conditions due to the lack of additional functional impairment beyond that already contemplated by the current ratings.
