Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher rating for tinnitus, service connection for bilateral hearing loss and back injury, and remanded the claims for service connection for foot pain and neck condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of current disability or in-service incurrence for any of the conditions claimed, except for the need to provide further examination for the foot pain and neck condition.
