Partly granted
The veteran's service connection for tinnitus was granted, while the claims for allergic rhinitis and irritable bowel syndrome were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the appellant's tinnitus and his military service, but did not support a diagnosis of rhinitis or IBS during the pendency of the claim.
