Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) prior to June 12, 2024, and denied all other claims including service connection for various respiratory conditions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reports of difficulty with job duties that required constant steadiness supported a finding of occasional staggering, warranting the highest rating available under Diagnostic Code 6204. The evidence did not support a compensable rating or service connection for the other claimed conditions.
