Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for allergic rhinitis as the evidence did not show nasal passage obstruction greater than 50 percent on both sides, complete obstruction of either side, or polyps.
The deciding factor: An initial compensable rating was not warranted because the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 6522.
