Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a headache disability and an increased rating for tinnitus was denied. The claims for psychiatric disorders, left shoulder impingement, and left shoulder superficial paresthesia were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding that the veteran's headaches are related to service; the maximum schedular rating for tinnitus has already been assigned.
