Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for PTSD with TBI, while remanding the claim for post-concussion dizziness and balance disorder.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on a nexus to military noise exposure, while the severity of the Veteran's symptoms did not warrant a higher rating for his psychiatric condition.
