Granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for the Veteran's rhinitis based on the severity of symptoms and use of nasal sprays, even though there was no evidence of greater than 10-percent obstruction or polyps.
The deciding factor: The disability picture presented by the Veteran's allergic rhinitis approximates the criteria required for a 10 percent rating when considering his reports of severity and use of multiple nasal sprays, with resolution of all reasonable doubt in his favor.
