Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus but denied it for hyperlipidemia.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted for tinnitus as the evidence supported its origin during active service, while hyperlipidemia was not considered a disability for which VA compensation may be awarded.
