Denied
The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus and dismissed the claim for service connection for a right knee condition due to untimely filing.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's appeal was denied as he did not timely file his Notice of Disagreement with respect to the denial of service connection for a right knee condition, and the maximum rating for tinnitus had already been assigned.
