Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to compensation under 38 USC § 1151 for bilateral vestibular weakness due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: An addendum opinion is needed as the July 2024 VA examiner did not address whether there was any evidence of carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, error in judgment regarding the Veteran's audiology examination or the Veteran's contentions regarding his treatment and resulting symptoms.
