Granted
The Board granted a separate 30 percent rating for vertigo, which is secondary to the Veteran's service-connected insomnia disorder with major depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and experiences dizziness and occasional staggering, meeting the criteria for a 30 percent separate disability rating by analogy to Diagnostic Code 6204.
