Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, a presumptive chronic condition, based on the Veteran's report of symptoms beginning in service and continuing after service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence supported a finding that the Veteran's tinnitus began during his active duty and continued thereafter, satisfying the elements of service connection under 38 C.F.R. § 3.309(a).
