Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and dismissed the appeals for right and left knee pain due to an improper concurrent election of administrative review options.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in equipoise, and resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, his tinnitus manifested during service. The appeals for right and left knee pain were dismissed as they involved a prohibited concurrent election of administrative review options.
