Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for a vestibular disorder, to include vertigo.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus was found to be etiologically related to service due to his competent lay statements and continuous symptoms since service. A VA examination is needed for the vestibular disorder claim.
