Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for vertigo and dismissed the appeal for service connection for anxiety, while remanding claims for service connection for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and total disability based upon individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's vertigo was found to result in dizziness and occasional staggering, warranting a 30 percent rating. The appeal for anxiety was withdrawn by the Veteran.
