Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for headaches and tinnitus, but remanded the claims for bilateral hearing loss, a bilateral hand disability, a bilateral knee/leg disability, an acquired psychiatric disability, a heart disability, and a back disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that the Veteran's headaches and tinnitus started during active service and have continued since. The Board found good cause to accept the appeal of these claims as timely filed.
