Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus was denied. The claim for a higher evaluation of type II diabetes mellitus was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a finding that the veteran's tinnitus manifested in service or within one year thereafter, and there was no medical opinion linking it to military service.
