Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss and a rating of 30 percent, but no higher, for the period on appeal prior to December 6, 2023, for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), with a 100 percent rating from December 6, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Board granted service connection based on reasonable doubt and the evidence supporting a nexus between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and his current hearing loss. For BPPV, the Board found that the Veteran's symptoms met the criteria for a higher rating from December 6, 2023.
