Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left ear tinnitus and left ear hearing loss due to military noise exposure, but remanded the issue of a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for right knee arthritis prior to September 25, 2017.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence satisfied all three elements of service connection: current disability, in-service injury, and a causal relationship between the current disability and in-service injury.
