Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a back disability, neck disability, hearing loss, and migraine headaches, but remanded the claim for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an in-service event or injury related to any of the claimed conditions, and there was no current diagnosis of hearing loss for VA purposes. The Veteran's migraine attacks were found to be less frequent than required for a compensable rating.
