Denied
The Board denied a disability rating higher than 10 percent for the Veteran's service-connected tinnitus, as the maximum schedular rating has been reached and there is no legal basis to award a higher evaluation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the diagnostic criteria adequately described the severity of the Veteran's tinnitus, with no exceptional or unusual disability picture present.
