Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus as the evidence did not support a finding that it manifested during or was related to the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The weight of the most probative evidence weighed against finding that the tinnitus manifested in service or within the initial post-separation year, and there is no competent evidence linking the condition to an in-service injury.
