Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for allergic rhinitis and an earlier effective date, but granted an effective date of October 5, 2023, for DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's allergic rhinitis did not meet the criteria for a higher rating until July 30, 2024, and he met the requirements for DEA benefits beginning October 5, 2023.
