Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for bilateral pes planus.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in equipoise regarding the etiology of the Veteran's tinnitus, leading to a grant of service connection. The Board found it necessary to obtain additional medical opinion on the direct service connection theory for the Veteran's pes planus.
