Partly granted
The appeal was dismissed for res judicata, and a rating in excess of 30 percent for the cervical spine disability was denied. The Board remanded an issue regarding a separate compensable rating for vertigo.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the application of res judicata due to a prior Board decision granting an increased rating for the cervical spine disability, and there was no evidence supporting a higher rating or a separate compensable rating for vertigo.
