Partly granted
The Board granted the petitions to reopen claims for service connection for left and right leg chronic venous insufficiency and tinnitus, but remanded other related issues for further development.
The deciding factor: New evidence was found sufficient to raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claims for left and right leg chronic venous insufficiency and tinnitus, as it could inform new medical opinions potentially supporting an unestablished element of in-service incurrence or a causal link to service.
