Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claims for a right knee disability, left knee disability, back disability, bilateral foot disability, right ankle disability, and loss of smell.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted for tinnitus based on an approximate balance of evidence. The other claims were denied due to lack of evidence supporting their relationship to service.
