Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right foot strain and denied a compensable rating for allergic rhinitis, while remanding the claim for service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side for allergic rhinitis. For right foot strain, the Board found that the Veteran's current disability was causally related to her active service.
