What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.

- Remanded (sent back)
The appeal regarding entitlement to service connection for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is remanded due to inadequate medical opinions.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for post-concussion syndrome, migraine headaches, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) as these conditions clearly and unmistakably preexisted the Veteran's active duty service and were not permanently worsened beyond their natural progression by such service.
- Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 10 percent rating for allergic rhinitis and a 30 percent rating for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, but denied a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss.
- Partly granted
The Veteran's migraines are reasonably shown to have manifested by very frequent, completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, warranting a 50 percent rating.
