Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for right hip degenerative arthritis and bilateral hearing loss, granted service connection for tinnitus, and remanded claims for an increased rating in excess of 10 percent for asthma and service connection for left foot pes planus with left foot cyst.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's right hip disability did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, his bilateral hearing loss did not meet the diagnostic criteria for VA compensation purposes, but he had a current diagnosis of tinnitus that had its onset in service.
