Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding the evidence is in approximate balance as to whether it began during active service and resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's report of onset in 1997 was credible and that there was no affirmative evidence to rebut this claim.
