Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for tinnitus to address potentially favorable evidence and ensure an adequate statement of reasons or bases.
The deciding factor: The Court found that the Board did not account for all relevant evidence, including a July 1971 service medical record reflecting earplugs provided to the Veteran.
