Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus based on a presumption that it manifested within one year of separation from service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's assertion of onset in service and continued symptoms was found credible, meeting the criteria for presumptive service connection under 38 C.F.R. § 3.309(a).
