Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating greater than 10 percent for tinnitus, as he is already receiving the maximum schedular evaluation for this condition.
The deciding factor: There is no schedular basis for the assignment of a rating higher than 10 percent for tinnitus due to existing VA practice and Federal Circuit rulings.
