The VA provides two disability ratings for allergic rhinitis under diagnostic code 6522. It assigns a 30 percent rating for allergic rhinitis with nasal polyps. It assigns a 10 percent rating for allergic rhinitis with no polyps but with a greater than 50 percent nasal passage obstruction on both sides or 100 percent on one side.
There are no other ratings for allergic rhinitis, though your overall rating may increase if you have it in conjunction with another disability.
One of the ways to determine your potential VA disability rating is to have your doctor fill out the rhinitis public disability benefits questionnaire, or DBQ. The VA does not require that you send a DBQ with your disability claim. Still, it is a helpful piece of evidence because it is designed using VA eligibility criteria, such as having nasal polyps.
