Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for a condition of the feet, to include bilateral plantar fasciitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's statements provided new evidence that established a nexus between her in-service noise exposure and current tinnitus. The examination for the foot condition was found inadequate due to omissions regarding pes planus and secondary service connection considerations.
