Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and a right knee disability, but remanded the claims for a bilateral shoulder disability and bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on credible lay statements and medical opinions supporting an in-service onset of symptoms. The claims for other conditions were remanded due to the need for additional evidence and examination.
