Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus was granted. The claim for a low back condition was denied. The claims for bilateral knee condition and tinea pedis were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision on tinnitus was based on the Veteran's credible lay statements and the presumptive nature of chronic diseases like tinnitus.
