Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus was granted with a 10% rating. The claims for anxiety and depression were denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's tinnitus manifested to a compensable degree within one year of separation from service and is not attributable to intercurrent causes, but there was no current diagnosis of anxiety or depression.
