Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus based on a presumptive basis due to its manifestation within one year of the Veteran's separation from active service.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted in favor of the Veteran as his lay reports established the onset and continuous presence of tinnitus during and after service, with reasonable doubt resolved in his favor regarding the date of onset.
