Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the issue of left lower extremity radiculopathy due to a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus began during active service and continued thereafter, meeting the criteria for direct service connection. The left lower extremity radiculopathy requires further medical opinion as no direct service connection opinion was obtained previously.
