Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for anxiety and chronic lower back pain but granted service connection for tinnitus and unspecified depressive disorder. Bilateral hearing loss was also denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of service connection for anxiety, chronic lower back pain, or bilateral hearing loss; however, the weight of the evidence supported a grant of service connection for tinnitus and unspecified depressive disorder.
