Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, to include anxiety disorder.
The deciding factor: Service connection for tinnitus was granted based on the Veteran's report of in-service acoustic trauma and a continuity of symptoms. Service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability was denied due to a lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis during the appeal period.
