The Board granted service connection for adjustment disorder with anxiety but denied service connection for sinus condition and neck disability. The issue of entitlement to service connection for undifferentiated connective tissue disease was remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection for adjustment disorder with anxiety is warranted as it is caused by the Veteran's service-connected bilateral peripheral vertigo with bilateral benign paroxysmal vertigo, including dizziness and giddiness. The other claims were denied due to lack of evidence supporting a current diagnosis or functional impairment related to the claimed conditions.
