Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of October 19, 2021, for the award of service connection for tinnitus but denied all other claims for service connection and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the Veteran's claim for tinnitus was received on October 19, 2021, and he is in receipt of the maximum schedular rating for this condition.
