The Veteran's benign paroxysmal positional vertigo was granted an increased initial rating of 30 percent, but no higher.,Her chronic constipation with idiopathic nausea and vomiting did not meet the criteria for a compensable initial rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran presented with symptoms that aligned with DC 6204 (Peripheral Vestibular Disorder) which warranted a maximum 30 percent rating based on occasional dizziness and unsteadiness.
