Partly granted
The appeal for service connection for a pulmonary condition other than allergic rhinitis was dismissed, while the effective date of service connection for allergic rhinitis was granted earlier to July 14, 2017. The claim for an initial compensable rating for allergic rhinitis was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's appeal for a pulmonary condition other than allergic rhinitis was not timely perfected, leading to its dismissal. However, the Board found that the Veteran continuously pursued his claim for allergic rhinitis and granted an earlier effective date based on direct service connection.
