The Board granted a 10 percent disability rating for the Veteran's service-connected vestibular migraines, as the evidence supports occasional dizziness but not occasional staggering.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced occasional dizziness, which meets the criteria for a 10 percent rating under DC 6204, but there was no evidence of occasional staggering to warrant a higher rating.
