Partly granted
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for asthma and a higher initial rating, but granted service connection for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date or a higher rating for asthma, while it supported the Veteran's claim for tinnitus based on in-service incurrence and continuity of symptoms.
