The Board granted a 30 percent disability rating for acoustic neuroma and a 10 percent rating for tinnitus, due to the acoustic neuroma. The Board also granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of dizziness and occasional staggering were found to be consistent with the criteria for a 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 6204, while tinnitus warranted a separate 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 6260. The Board also granted TDIU based on the Veteran's inability to perform occupational tasks due to his acoustic neuroma.
