Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for tinnitus, bilateral hearing loss, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, and migraines were denied. Claims for an acquired psychiatric disorder, bilateral fallen arches, plantar fasciitis, right ankle sprain, and left ankle sprain were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence persuasively weighs against a finding of service connection for the denied conditions.
