Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for tinnitus and increased ratings for right and left knee disorders, finding no evidence of a current disability or sufficient in-service incurrence to support these claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had a diagnosis of tinnitus or that his claimed knee conditions were related to active service based on the available medical records and examination reports.
