Partly granted
The Veteran's tinnitus is granted service connection, while the appeals for right shoulder and right knee disabilities are dismissed.
The deciding factor: Service connection for tinnitus was granted due to its chronic nature incepted during service. The Board lacks jurisdiction over the deferred issues of the right shoulder and right knee disabilities as they were not final adjudicative determinations from which a disagreement may be filed.
