Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss, but remanded claims for a higher rating for the right foot and left knee, as well as service connection for anxiety disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's statements regarding continuity of symptoms were found credible, supporting the grant of service connection based on direct evidence. The examinations for the remaining claims were deemed inadequate to properly assess their severity.
