Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a rating of 60 percent, but no higher, from December 1, 2019 for the evaluation of Meniere's Syndrome with tinnitus. An earlier effective date than December 1, 2019 for service-connected Meniere's Syndrome with tinnitus was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran reported dizziness two to three times per month during the December 9, 2019 VA examination, warranting a 60 percent rating from December 1, 2019. However, there is no evidence of attacks of vertigo and cerebellar gait occurring more than once weekly, which would warrant a higher 100 percent rating.
