Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran. The other claims are remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt regarding the Veteran's tinnitus claim based on his credible testimony and conceded noise exposure, while finding insufficient evidence to support the other musculoskeletal claims.
