The Board granted service connection for a right knee disability and tinnitus, but denied service connection for a left arm nerve condition. The issues of plantar fasciitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the evidence showing onset in service, while the left arm nerve condition was not supported by sufficient evidence.
