Partly granted
The Board granted separate ratings for a peripheral vestibular disorder, oculomotor disorder, and headaches associated with TBI but denied a separate rating for the TBI itself.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of dizziness, nystagmus, and characteristic prostrating attacks less frequently than an average of one in two months over the last several months were found to be distinct from his already service-connected PTSD with major depressive disorder and warranted separate ratings.
