Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied service connection for hypertension, heart disease, kidney condition, diabetes, left lower extremity neuropathy, left upper extremity neuropathy, right lower extremity neuropathy, right upper extremity neuropathy, depression, and bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claim for tinnitus due to in-service noise exposure, while other claims were denied as there was no credible evidence of current disability or nexus to service.
