Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claims for bilateral hearing loss, left foot condition, right foot condition, left hand condition, right hand condition, left wrist condition, and right wrist condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's competent statements are credible and constitute highly probative evidence that weighs in favor of the claim for tinnitus. For the other conditions, a new examination is required to properly evaluate the Veteran's claims due to inadequate medical opinions provided by VA.
