The Board granted service connection for tinnitus disability and remanded the claim for a bilateral pes planus disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance, establishing a nexus between the Veteran's tinnitus and his military service. For the pes planus, there was a need to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
