Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) to obtain an addendum VA medical opinion addressing direct causation and secondary service connection.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not clearly and unmistakably show that BPPV pre-existed service, so it must be considered on the basis of direct causation. Additionally, a remand is necessary for addendum opinions regarding secondary service connection to the Veteran's service-connected conditions.
