Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for tinnitus and higher ratings for lumbar spine degenerative disc disease, strain residuals, and allergic rhinitis. The Veteran will undergo additional medical examinations to determine the relationship between these conditions and their military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the previous examination reports were of limited probative value and further evaluations are needed.
