Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and Meniere's syndrome, as well as entitlement to a total disability evaluation based on individual unemployability (TDIU), due to an insufficient medical opinion regarding aggravation.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examination did not establish a baseline severity of BPPV, making it impossible to determine the extent of aggravation by service-connected disabilities.
