- Remanded (sent back)

The claims are being returned for further development.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided to remand the case due to inadequate examination and opinion regarding the Veteran's claimed vertigo and chronic motion sickness.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case for further development due to a previous decision being vacated and remanded by the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC). Specifically, the BPPV rating is still in dispute as the Veteran's wife used the term 'staggering' which may be related to dizziness. The TDIU issue was also remanded but will be deferred until further evidence can make the Veteran eligible for schedular consideration.
- Denied
The Veteran's claims for service connection for glioblastoma brain tumor and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as secondary to his service-connected chronic motion sickness have been denied. His claim for a compensable disability rating for bilateral hearing loss has also been denied.
