The Board granted a 10 percent rating for Meniere's syndrome from June 16, 2020, but denied an initial compensable rating prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the presence of occasional dizziness starting from June 16, 2020, which met the criteria for a 10 percent rating under DC 6204. Prior to this date, there were no objective findings supporting a compensable evaluation.
