Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for right knee and shoulder disabilities but granted service connection for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a causal relationship between the in-service injuries and current disabilities, except for tinnitus which was found to have onset within one year of separation from military service with continuity of symptomatology since then.
