Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for allergic rhinitis, a condition presumed to be related to the Veteran's service in Afghanistan.
The deciding factor: The Veteran served in Afghanistan from March 2011 to October 2011 and has a current diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. The Board found that the Veteran's allergic rhinitis is presumed to have been caused by service due to his qualifying period of service under 38 C.F.R. § 3.320.
