The Board has granted a 30 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected Meniere's Syndrome, effective from the date of the March 2022 decision that initially assigned the condition.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence throughout the period on appeal established Meniere's Syndrome characterized by dizziness and occasional staggering, which supported a 30 percent rating under DC 6204 for peripheral vestibular disorders.
