The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for vertigo and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to insufficient evidence linking his current condition to active service or any incident of service.
The deciding factor: The record evidence does not support granting service connection for vertigo as it is less likely than not that the Veteran's claimed vertigo is related to active service or any incident of service, including as due to in-service exposure to an herbicide agent. The Veteran's complaints were explained better by a diagnosis of orthostatic hypotension which was not related to active service.
