The Board denied service connection for a knee condition and remanded the claim for tinnitus due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran has a current disability related to his in-service activities, while the VA examiner's opinion regarding tinnitus was found to be inadequate.
