Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus, but remanded the claims for bilateral elbow disorders, a psychiatric disorder, and a migraine disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a nexus between the Veteran's tinnitus and his military service. However, the VA examinations were inadequate for the other conditions, necessitating further review.
