Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable disability rating for allergic rhinitis as the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a 10 percent evaluation.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's allergic rhinitis did not result in greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side, which are required for a compensable rating under DC 6522.
