Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied service connection for eye disease. The Veteran's hypertension was rated at 10 percent, but no higher.
The deciding factor: The most persuasive evidence supported the grant of service connection for tinnitus due to in-service noise exposure, while there was insufficient evidence to establish a link between any eye disability and active military service or events therein. Hypertension did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
