Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial rating higher than 10 percent for deviated septum, as he is already receiving the maximum rating provided under Diagnostic Code 6502.
The deciding factor: The assignment of a rating higher than 10 percent is impossible under the diagnostic criterion since the Veteran is in receipt of the maximum rating provided for deviated septum.
