Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for a higher rating of allergic rhinitis was remanded because the VA needs to get another medical opinion that doesn't consider the effects of medication.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the previous medical examination did not adequately address the severity of the condition without considering medication.
