Granted
The Board granted service connection for dry eye syndrome of the left and right eye, finding that it is proximately due to the Veteran's service-connected allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's dry eye syndrome is proximately due to his service-connected allergic rhinitis, and the Board applied the benefit of the doubt doctrine.
