Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, denied service connection for a low back disability and an acquired psychiatric disability, and remanded the claim for a skin disability of the face.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted for tinnitus based on the Veteran's credible report of in-service noise exposure and continuity of symptoms. The other claims were denied due to lack of evidence showing current disabilities during the pendency of the claims.
