Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's service-connected rhinitis as there was no evidence of nasal polyps or greater than 50 percent obstruction on both sides, nor complete obstruction on one side.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had any nasal polyps or greater than 50 percent obstruction on both sides, which are required for a compensable rating under DC 6522.
