Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for vertigo, claimed as Meniere's disease, secondary to tinnitus due to a lack of evidence showing that his vertigo was caused or aggravated by his service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The negative nexus opinions provided by medical examiners and the Veteran's lack of competence in providing a medical opinion regarding the etiology of his vertigo led to the denial of the claim.
