Denied
The Board denied increased ratings for fibromyalgia, sinusitis, and allergic rhinitis, and denied a 100 percent rating for persistent depressive disorder. The claims for service connection were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for higher ratings or service connection as they were either constant or nearly so, episodic with exacerbations, or not shown to be related to service.
