The Board granted a 30 percent rating for peripheral vestibular disorder from September 1, 2020 to August 19, 2021 and denied an evaluation in excess of 30 percent from August 19, 2021. Service connection was denied for left elbow pain.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's peripheral vestibular disorder warranted a 30 percent rating due to dizziness with occasional staggering, but no higher as his symptoms did not exceed the criteria for that rating. Left elbow pain was not service-connected as it was secondary to cervical radiculopathy already service-connected.
