Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of October 3, 2015, for service connection for allergic rhinitis and denied earlier effective dates for chronic sinusitis as well as initial ratings higher than 30 percent for both conditions.
The deciding factor: The reasoning was based on the first diagnosis of allergic rhinitis in October 2015 and no evidence of chronic sinusitis prior to August 9, 2021.
