Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claims for left and right carpal tunnel syndrome due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's statements regarding in-service noise exposure were found credible, and a direct link was established between his tinnitus and in-service noise exposure.
