The Board has remanded the claims for service connection, TDIU, and special monthly compensation based on housebound status due to incomplete development. The Veteran's benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is being reviewed again with a new medical opinion considering all relevant factors.
The deciding factor: The decision was remanded because the previous examination did not consider all relevant in-service events and service-connected conditions, leading to an inadequate opinion on whether the vertigo is related to service or due to other disabilities.
