Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's testimony provided new and relevant evidence to reopen the previously denied claim.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's sworn testimony regarding onset and continuity of tinnitus symptoms to be more persuasive than the lack of information in a prior VA examination.
