The Board granted an effective date of December 18, 2013, for the award of service connection for Meniere's syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's Meniere's Syndrome existed for one year prior to submission of the claim, and the FDC initiative allows up to a one-year retroactive effective date for awards based on fully developed claims received from August 6, 2013, through August 5, 2015.
