Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the evidence is at least in approximate balance that the Veteran incurred tinnitus during service with continuous symptoms since service. The claims for right and left ankle disabilities were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence was found to be in approximate balance regarding the onset of tinnitus during service, thus granting service connection. The claims for bilateral ankle disabilities required additional development before a decision could be made.
