The Board denied earlier effective dates and initial ratings for allergic rhinitis and sinusitis, but remanded the claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were denied due to lack of evidence supporting a higher rating or earlier effective date, with the exception of remanding the psychiatric disorder claim due to unverified stressor and potential secondary service connection theory.
