Partly granted
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, except for tinnitus which was granted based on a presumption of service connection within one year of discharge.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to provide good cause for missing scheduled VA examinations. For service connection claims, there is no competent evidence of current disabilities related to the claimed conditions.
