Denied
The Board denied service connection for left and right leg disabilities other than knee strains, as well as higher ratings for knee strain and tinnitus. The claim for a neck disability was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities or functional impairment related to the claimed conditions during the pendency of the claims, and the maximum schedular rating had already been assigned for tinnitus.
