Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable disability rating for rhinitis and an earlier effective date for the assignment of service connection for rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show nasal polyps or a total or 50 percent nasal obstruction, which are required for a compensable disability rating. The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date was also denied as the earliest possible date (June 11, 2023) had already been assigned.
