The veteran's claim for an increased rating for migraine headaches with dizziness, formerly claimed as Meniere's Disease, was denied by the RO. The maximum benefit of a noncompensable rating has not been granted.
The deciding factor: The RO determined that the veteran's condition did not warrant a higher rating based on the evidence provided.
