Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for vertigo to obtain an adequate medical opinion addressing secondary causation and aggravation.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 and March 2025 VA examiner's opinions are inadequate as they reference incorrect standards for addressing secondary service connection, fail to address secondary aggravation, and lack sufficient rationale.
