Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for a compensable rating for bronchitis and chronic rhinitis as there was no evidence of record to support a finding that these conditions manifested to the level of a compensable rating during the period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under VA's rating schedule, and the Veteran is competent to report his symptoms but does not possess the necessary medical expertise to determine whether these conditions warrant a higher evaluation.
