Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's competent and credible lay evidence showed that tinnitus had its onset in service and has continued since that time.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's statements supported a later diagnosis of tinnitus by medical professionals and afforded him the benefit of the doubt.
