The Board granted an initial disability rating of 30 percent for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and dismissed the appeal of a claim for entitlement to service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence is approximately evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's BPPV symptoms more nearly approximate dizziness and occasional staggering, warranting a 30 percent disability rating under DC 6204. The Board dismissed the appeal of a claim for entitlement to service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome because there was no adjudicative action concerning CFS to appeal since the March 2022 rating decision.
