Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claims for an eye disability, urinary condition, right foot condition, and poor circulation of the feet.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's statements regarding in-service noise exposure were found to be competent and credible, supporting a direct link between his tinnitus and military service. The other claims require further development through VA examinations.
