Partly granted
The Board denied the veteran's claims for initial compensable ratings for allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, and obstructive sleep apnea. However, a 10 percent rating was granted for hypertension.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet the criteria for an increased rating due to the absence of specific symptoms required by the rating schedule for each condition.
