Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to an initial compensable rating for allergic rhinitis due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not account for the ameliorative effects of the Veteran's medication, which could have led to a higher rating if considered.
