Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a lumbar spine disability and denied service connection for tinnitus. The remaining claims were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's lumbar spine pain began during active duty, while tinnitus was denied due to lack of credible evidence supporting its onset in or as a result of service.
