Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for allergic rhinitis and remanded the claim for service connection for sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's allergic rhinitis did not meet the criteria for a higher schedular rating, while further evidence is needed to determine if he has chronic sinusitis due to presumed exposure to burn pits during his service in Afghanistan.
