Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, an abnormal gait, right ankle synovitis, right ankle scars, Morton's neuroma, right hammer toe, and a low back disability.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence supported the continuity of symptomatology for tinnitus but not for the other conditions. The weight of the evidence was against finding current disabilities for the other issues.
