Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for allergic rhinitis, as there was no evidence of a current disability for VA compensation purposes.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish that the Veteran had a current disability for VA compensation purposes, which is required to grant service connection or an increased rating.
