Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for an adequate medical opinion addressing whether vertigo is secondary to service-connected tinnitus and whether tinnitus caused or aggravated BPPV.
The deciding factor: The previous opinions were inadequate, as they did not address the specific relationship between vertigo and tinnitus as required by law.
