Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for a skin disability, to include acne and eczema.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus had its onset during active service and is related to in-service noise exposure. The skin disability was not adequately addressed due to incomplete information regarding toxic exposure risk activity (TERA) exposure.
