The Board denied service connection for vertigo/Meniere's disease and remanded the claims for bilateral hearing loss, bilateral flatfeet, and a bilateral knee disorder for readjudication with new evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was not shown to have vertigo or Meniere's disease, and there is no sufficient evidence linking his claimed conditions to service. The Board found that additional medical opinions are needed for the claims of bilateral hearing loss, flatfeet, and knee disorder due to conflicting opinions and lack of clarity.
