Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, left and right pes planus, and left and right hallux valgus.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's assertions of in-service noise exposure and foot trauma were found credible, supporting the direct and aggravation theories of service connection. The hallux valgus was determined to be secondary to the service-connected pes planus.
