Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral tinnitus and denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for left foot plantar fasciitis. The claim for service connection for a psychiatric disability was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's tinnitus is related to noise exposure during service, but there is no evidence supporting a higher rating for his left foot plantar fasciitis.
