Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher rating for PTSD, TDIU based on PTSD, and service connection for various disabilities, except for tinnitus which was granted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating or TDIU, and there was no evidence of a current diagnosis related to the claimed bilateral shoulder, wrist, hearing loss, hip, ovarian cysts, migraines, or vertigo disabilities that were service-connected.
