Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for bilateral dry eye syndrome was granted at 20%, but the claim for a higher rating for tinnitus was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's bilateral dry eye syndrome is appropriately rated under Diagnostic Code 6025, while the maximum schedular rating for tinnitus has already been assigned.
