Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent disability evaluation for chronic suppurative otitis media and denied an increase in the rating for tinnitus. The other claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of chronic suppurative otitis media warranted the maximum available 10 percent rating, while there was no basis to increase the rating for tinnitus as it already received the maximum evaluation.
