Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an initial compensable disability rating for allergic rhinitis, stating that the condition did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The VA examination found no evidence of greater than 50 percent obstruction of both nasal passages or polyps, which are required for a compensable rating.
