Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of August 5, 2021, for service connection for non-allergic rhinitis but denied a higher initial rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's eligibility for the liberalized benefit on the effective date of the law and established chronicity since service, but did not show polyps required for a higher rating.
