Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for a joint pain disorder due to further development required.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus was found to be related to noise exposure during wartime service, while the evidence is insufficient to establish a direct link between the joint pain disorder and service.
