Denied
The Board denied service connection for thoracic spine pain and tinnitus, as well as higher ratings for various service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions are related to his military service or otherwise warrant a higher disability rating.
