The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claims for service connection of various other conditions, including migraine headaches, left knee condition, right knee condition, and bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: Service connection for tinnitus was granted due to an approximate balance of evidence supporting its manifestation within a presumptive period following separation from service. Other claims were denied as there was no current disability or functional impairment of earning capacity related to the claimed conditions.
