Partly granted
The Board granted a separate 30 percent rating for vertigo as a residual of the service-connected post-traumatic seizure disorder and remanded issues related to a higher rating for the seizure disorder and service connection for a sleep-related disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's vertigo spells, which are not contemplated by the diagnostic code for epilepsy (DC 8914), warrant a separate compensable rating. The Board found that her symptoms most closely approximate a 30 percent disabling peripheral vestibular disorder by analogy under DC 6204.
