Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a vestibular condition, to include BPPV and Meniere's disease, as secondary to service-connected tinnitus due to inadequate VA opinions.
The deciding factor: The VA opinions provided were found to be inadequate as they failed to address the Veteran's specific medical history and did not adequately discuss aggravation or the potential relationship between the vestibular disorders and a COVID-19 vaccination.
