Partly granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 30 percent for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) beginning April 30, 2024, and denied an increased rating in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's BPPV manifested in dizziness and occasional staggering, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran. However, there is no basis for a higher rating for tinnitus under applicable criteria.
