Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for GERD and denied a compensable rating for allergic rhinitis, while remanding claims for lumbar spine and left hip disabilities.
The deciding factor: Service connection for GERD was granted based on the Veteran's in-service symptoms that began during active service. The claim for a compensable rating for allergic rhinitis was denied due to insufficient evidence of greater than 50 percent obstruction of nasal passage or polyps.
