Denied
The appeal for a higher rating for tinnitus was denied because the veteran is already receiving the maximum schedular evaluation of 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The Board found no basis to award a higher rating as the veteran's tinnitus has been assigned the maximum schedular rating available.
