Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for asthma, bilateral hearing loss, and tinnitus but denied service connection for chronic headaches. The Board also granted an initial disability rating of 40 percent for back disability.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the medical evidence supporting a causal relationship between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's active service, with the exception of chronic headaches which did not meet the required criteria.
