The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a disorder manifested by dizziness, finding that there is no current disability and insufficient evidence to establish a nexus between the claimed condition and service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran does not have a diagnosed disorder manifested by dizziness and did not find a link between his service-connected gastroenteritis and his reported symptoms of dizziness.

- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
The Board has found that additional VA opinions are needed to address the nature and etiology of the Veteran's dizziness, including benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and tension headaches, including migraines. The opinions should consider the Veteran's participation in a TERA and the combined effect of all his service-connected disabilities.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Veteran's dizziness condition is rated at a 10 percent disability rating under Diagnostic Code 6204, as the evidence does not show occasional staggering. The Board finds that a higher rating is not warranted.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case due to a duty to assist error, as there is insufficient evidence to determine if the Veteran's inner ear symptoms are related to service or any other condition.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
