Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's condition began during active duty and there have been subsequent manifestations of the same chronic disease.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran competent to report the onset of his tinnitus during service and noted the absence of clear evidence attributing it to intercurrent causes.
