Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for anxiety as secondary to his service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a causal linkage between the Veteran's psychiatric condition and his service-connected tinnitus, making it less likely than not that the anxiety is proximately due to or the result of the service-connected disability.
