Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for revision of a September 2018 rating decision on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) to grant service connection for tinnitus, as well as an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not clearly and unmistakably demonstrate that the Veteran's tinnitus was related to his active duty service or manifested within one year of separation from service.
