Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for allergic rhinitis and remanded the claims for cervical spine, hip, thigh, and hip extension disorders for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's allergic rhinitis does not result in nasal polyps, and VA examinations provided in February 2024 were inadequate to decide the claims for increased ratings of his cervical spine and bilateral hip disorders.
