Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claims for shortness of breath, an eye disability, PTSD, anxiety as secondary to PTSD, and migraine as secondary to anxiety.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus was found to be directly related to his in-service noise exposure. The other claims were remanded due to inadequate medical evidence or need for a TERA opinion.
