The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for chronic sinusitis and allergic rhinitis, as the evidence did not support a higher rating based on the current symptoms and medical findings.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's sinusitis and allergic rhinitis did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to insufficient evidence of severe or frequent episodes requiring prolonged treatment or significant obstruction of nasal passages without polyps.
