Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected allergic rhinitis is granted a rating of 30 percent, the maximum allowed. The claims for increased ratings and service connection for other conditions are denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a 30 percent rating for allergic rhinitis due to nasal polyps and greater than 50 percent obstruction on both sides of the nasal passage. Other claims were denied based on insufficient evidence or criteria not met.
