Partly granted
The veteran's service connection for lumbosacral strain, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, bilateral hearing loss, and right shoulder pain was granted. The appeal for an increased rating for tinnitus was withdrawn. Claims for neck disability, left ankle disability, left foot disability, right ankle disability, and right foot disability were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported service connection for the granted conditions and that the Veteran withdrew the claim for an increased rating for tinnitus.
