Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and bilateral visual discomfort, bilateral dry eye syndrome, and bilateral chronic allergic conjunctivitis but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and a fatigue disorder. The claims for increased ratings were also denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claim for tinnitus due to in-service noise exposure, while the lack of current disability was found for bilateral hearing loss and fatigue disorder. Service connection for eye conditions was granted based on service-related environmental factors.
