Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claims for service connection for stricture of esophagus, right knee disability, and denied the claim for service connection for prostate cancer. The appeal for a higher rating for tinnitus was also denied.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's prostate cancer or any other condition was related to his military service, and the maximum schedular rating for tinnitus had already been assigned.
