Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disability and tinnitus, granted service connection for a TDIU, and remanded claims for service connection for voiding dysfunction, pulmonary disability, residuals of prostate cancer, and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an increase in the rating for the acquired psychiatric disability or tinnitus. However, the Veteran's service-connected disabilities met the criteria for a TDIU, and some claims were remanded for further development.
