Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, bilateral flatfoot, right knee bursitis, left knee bursitis, migraine headaches, and tinea pedis. However, it denied service connection for a bilateral hearing loss disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the direct service connection theories for the granted conditions but not for the bilateral hearing loss disability.
