Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for back, left foot, right foot, and left knee disabilities but granted service connection for tinnitus. The denial of bilateral hearing loss was also upheld.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's current conditions were related to her military service, with the exception of tinnitus which was granted due to reasonable doubt being resolved in favor of the Veteran.
