Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased rating for allergic rhinitis and service connection for chronic sinusitis due to a lack of evidence supporting these conditions.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examination did not find nasal polyps or a current diagnosis of chronic sinusitis, which are required for higher ratings and service connection respectively.
