Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for vertigo and a 20 percent rating for bilateral hearing loss from August 30, 2023 to December 21, 2023, but denied a higher rating for bilateral hearing loss at any time during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's vertigo results in dizziness with occasional staggering, and his bilateral hearing loss is manifested by no worse than Level XI in the right ear and Level III in the left ear, resulting in a 20 percent rating from August 30, 2023.
