Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for non allergic rhinitis as the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record, including the June 2023 VA examination, did not show greater than 50 percent obstruction of nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side or polyps, which are required for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 6522.
