Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for vertigo and denied service connection for Meniere's disease, pes planus, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of Meniere's disease or aggravation of pre-existing pes planus. A higher rating was not warranted for vertigo due to a lack of occasional staggering.
