The Board denied service connection for tinnitus, remanded the claims for right and left lower extremity radiculopathy and a traumatic brain injury (TBI) for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus was not related to active service based on the evidence of record. The claims for lower extremity radiculopathy and TBI were remanded due to insufficient medical evidence regarding their etiology in relation to his service-connected lumbar spine disability or other incidents during service.
