Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for service connection for major depression due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's chronic disease, tinnitus, was noted in service with continuity of symptomatology since service. For the claim of major depression, there was a pre-decisional duty to assist error in not providing the Veteran with a VA examination.
