Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus has been granted. The Board found that the Veteran's tinnitus is related to an in-service occurrence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's statements about her tinnitus during service were found credible, and the benefit-of-the-doubt was applied due to the nature of her military occupation specialty.
