The Board granted service connection for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and remanded the claim for a compensable rating for hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's lay statements, along with medical evidence, supported the conclusion that his vertigo began in service and has been continuous since then. The new evidence submitted was deemed relevant to the issue of entitlement to service connection for vertigo.
