Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include anxiety and chronic recurrent major depression disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's tinnitus is related to her in-service noise exposure as a radioman. The Veteran also submitted new and relevant evidence regarding both claims.
