Granted
The Board granted service connection for ear condition, to include Meniere's disease and peripheral vestibular disorder, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current ear condition is related to his active service, including exposure to toxic substances during his deployment in Southwest Asia.
