Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an increased disability rating in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus, as the evidence did not support a higher schedular rating.
The deciding factor: The symptoms reported by the Veteran were fully contemplated by the diagnostic code for tinnitus, and she is already receiving the maximum schedular rating for this condition.
