Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for right and left shoulder disabilities, including osteoarthritis, for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's credible report of in-service noise exposure and current symptoms supported the grant of service connection for tinnitus. New evidence was found to support a readjudication of the shoulder disability claim.
