Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's right ear disability, finding that a higher rating is not warranted under applicable diagnostic codes.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 6205 for Meniere's disease or any other basis for a higher rating.
