Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus, as the maximum schedular rating has been assigned.
The deciding factor: The criteria for a higher rating were not met because the Veteran is already receiving the maximum schedular evaluation for his service-connected tinnitus.
