The Board has decided to remand the case due to insufficient development of evidence regarding the Veteran's service-connected peripheral vestibular disorder (PVD). The VA examiner needs to provide an addendum opinion addressing the current level of severity of all impairment resulting from PVD, including the Veteran's symptoms and their impact on his daily life.
The deciding factor: The remand is required due to insufficient development of evidence regarding the Veteran's service-connected peripheral vestibular disorder (PVD).

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.

- Denied
The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for Peripheral Vestibular Disorder (PVD) was denied. The Board found that no earlier effective date is warranted as the claim for PVD was received on April 16, 2020 and granted service connection at that time.
- Granted
The Board has granted a 30 percent rating for the Veteran's Peripheral Vestibular Disorder, finding that his symptoms of dizziness and occasional staggering are severe enough to warrant this increased rating.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient evidence regarding service connection for Peripheral Vestibular Disorder, including noise exposure and toxic exposures. The Veteran's PVD is being reviewed in light of his hearing loss, tinnitus, and potential toxic exposures.
- Denied
