Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied a compensable rating for left hip limitation of extension, while remanding the claim for service connection for a right knee disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a compensable rating for left hip limitation of extension due to insufficient limitation of extension. Tinnitus was granted based on credible reports of onset within one year of separation from service and noise exposure during active duty.
