Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an increased rating for non-allergic rhinitis was denied. The issues of service connection for hand and wrist conditions, as well as hypertension, were remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing the required level of nasal obstruction or polyps for a compensable rating, and the need for additional medical opinions on the other conditions.
