Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable disability rating for non-allergic rhinitis as there was no evidence of greater than 50 percent obstruction of the nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side, nor any evidence of nasal polyps.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran did not have the necessary symptoms to warrant a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 6522.
