The appeal regarding entitlement to an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for service-connected asthma was dismissed, while a 30 percent disability rating was granted for genital herpes and the claim for a compensable rating for vocal cord polyp was denied.

The deciding factor: The appeal regarding asthma was dismissed as it was deemed duplicative and moot following a previous decision. The grant of a 30 percent rating for genital herpes was based on the use of oral medication, while the denial of a compensable rating for vocal cord polyp was due to its asymptomatic nature.
