Vertigo & vestibular disorders decisions — 2008

The veteran's left knee disability was rated at 20 percent, resolving reasonable doubt in his favor. The claims for service connection for a right knee disability and Meniere's syndrome were denied.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development of evidence, including obtaining additional medical records and scheduling a VA examination.

The veteran is granted a total disability rating for compensation purposes based on individual unemployability due to his service-connected disabilities, effective October 7, 1998.

The veteran's hypertension with blurred vision, vertigo and nausea was denied as it was not related to his service or a service-connected disability.

The veteran's vertigo (Meniere's disease) is related to noise exposure and hearing loss incurred during military service, and a 10 percent rating for bilateral sensorineural hearing loss was assigned effective July 31, 2007.
