Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral tinnitus, ED, OSA, visual impairment, left-hand disability, and acquired psychiatric disability. However, it granted service connection for a back condition (lumbosacral strain) and remanded claims for other disabilities including right hand, left elbow, right elbow, and right knee.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support the presence of current disabilities related to the claimed conditions during or after service.
