Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claims for hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The Board found that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's tinnitus is etiologically related to her in-service noise exposure, while the other conditions require further examination to address aggravation by service-connected PTSD.
