Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, finding that his respiratory disorder, allergic rhinitis, chronic headaches, hypertension, and middle back sprain did not meet the criteria for higher disability ratings.
The deciding factor: The appellant's symptoms were found to be insufficient to warrant a higher rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
