Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial rating greater than 10 percent for allergic rhinitis, as there is no evidence of nasal polyps and the symptoms are already compensated through other service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the schedular criteria adequately address the Veteran's symptoms without the need for a higher rating or extraschedular consideration.
