Service connection for diplopia and tremor disorder is denied.,The appeals for service connection for Meniere's disease and migraine headaches are remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not establish a current disability of diplopia or tremor disorder, nor does it provide sufficient rationale to support the Veteran's claims for these conditions. The VA examiner did not address the continuity of symptoms reported by the Veteran during service and post-service.
