The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches and dizziness secondary to the Veteran's service-connected tinnitus, but denied readjudication of the claim for bilateral hearing loss and remanded the claim for a cervical spine disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence was approximately balanced that the Veteran's migraines and dizziness are caused or aggravated by her service-connected tinnitus. The Board found no new and relevant evidence to support readjudicating the claim for bilateral hearing loss, but did find such evidence regarding the cervical spine disorder.
