Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for recurrent tinnitus, left ankle disability, and left lower ear scar but denied service connection for hair loss. The Board also denied initial compensable ratings for tinea pedis and rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the grant of service connection for recurrent tinnitus, left ankle disability, and left lower ear scar due to in-service onset or continuity of symptoms, while the evidence did not support a finding of current hair loss or initial compensable ratings for tinea pedis and rhinitis.
