Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus, as the maximum schedular rating has been assigned.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptomatology is fully contemplated by the schedular rating criteria and there is no legal basis to award more than a single 10 percent rating for tinnitus.
