The Board denied the veteran's claims for an initial compensable disability rating for service-connected cervicogenic headaches and rhinitis, as the evidence did not support a higher rating under applicable criteria.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of headache pain and allergic rhinitis were found to be less frequent than required for even a noncompensable rating, and there was no evidence of prostrating attacks or severe economic inadaptability for headaches, nor greater than 50 percent obstruction of nasal passage on both sides or complete obstruction on one side for rhinitis.
