Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, migraines, a cervical strain, right rotator cuff tendinopathy (right shoulder disability), bilateral flatfoot, and a gastrointestinal disability manifested by diarrhea. The initial rating for lumbosacral sprain was denied.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's competent statements regarding in-service onset of symptoms and continuity of those symptoms since separation from service, with resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
