Partly granted
The appeal for service connection for tinnitus was denied an earlier effective date, and the appeal for allergic rhinitis was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The claim for an earlier effective date for tinnitus was denied due to no complete claim being received within one year of the intent to file. The appeal for allergic rhinitis was withdrawn by the Veteran.
