Denied
The Board denied a compensable disability rating for rhinitis (claimed as allergies) because the probative evidence did not show greater than 50 percent obstruction of nasal passages on both sides or complete obstruction on one side, or with polyps.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 VA examination found no greater than 50 percent obstruction and no polyps, despite the Veteran's reports of symptoms.
