Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for allergic rhinitis as the evidence did not show greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence was against a compensable rating for the service-connected chronic allergic rhinitis, as there was no indication of greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side.
