Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for tinnitus with insomnia disorder but granted an earlier effective date of March 10, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, but he continuously pursued his claim since that date, warranting the earlier effective date.
