Denied
The Board denied the restoration of service connection for tinnitus due to a clear and unmistakable error in the original grant, while remanding the claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not demonstrate a current diagnosis of tinnitus, which was required for service connection. The VA examiner's findings were considered adequate and supported by medical records.
