Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus and a back injury because the evidence did not show that these conditions are related to military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is persuasive against finding that the Veteran's tinnitus manifested within a year of discharge from active duty, or that it is otherwise related to service; there is no evidence of a current back injury disability.
