Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied an initial evaluation in excess of 30 percent for adjustment disorder with insomnia.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's statements regarding the onset of his tinnitus during active service were found to be highly competent, credible, and probative, leading to a favorable decision on that issue. For the adjustment disorder with insomnia, the severity of symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation.
