Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied a compensable rating for the residuals of tonsillectomy. The claims for left foot disability and prostate cancer were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing an in-service incurrence of tinnitus symptoms, while there was no sufficient evidence to support a compensable rating for the tonsillectomy residuals or service connection for the other conditions.
