The Board granted restoration of the 30 percent rating for Meniere's disease with vertigo, finding that VA did not prove actual improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
The deciding factor: The January 2019 and December 2020 VA examination reports inaccurately portrayed the Veteran's medical history and were less thorough compared to the September 2013 and January 2016 examinations, leading to a finding that there was no actual improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
