Granted
The Board granted the motion for revision, on the basis of clear and unmistakable error, of the July 8, 1991, Rating Decision, which denied service connection for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The VA Regional Office misapplied 38 C.F.R. § 3.303(d) (1991) by focusing solely on the lack of in-service documentation of tinnitus when denying service connection for tinnitus, despite evidence that supported a diagnosis and link to in-service noise exposure.
