Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of November 5, 2013, for service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claims for hearing loss, back condition, and neck condition.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's initial claim for compensation remaining pending due to errors in mailing notices and failure to provide notice of appellate rights.
