Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, finding that there was no evidence to support a direct link or secondary causation by his service-connected hearing loss and/or tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examiner opined that it was less likely than not that the Veteran's BPPV is proximately due to or aggravated by his service connected bilateral hearing loss and/or tinnitus, and there was no other medical evidence supporting this claim.
