Partly granted
The Board granted readjudication of the claim for service connection for tinnitus but denied the claim.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a link between the Veteran's tinnitus and their active-duty service, as it developed many years after separation from service and was unrelated to any diagnosed hearing loss during that time.
