Service connection for left shoulder impingement syndrome is granted. An initial compensable rating for allergic rhinitis is denied.

The deciding factor: The Board found evidence of a current disability, in-service incurrence, and a causal relationship for the left shoulder condition; however, the evidence did not show sufficient obstruction or polyps for a compensable rating of rhinitis.
