Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sinusitis, bilateral flatfeet, and tinnitus, assigned an initial 10 percent rating for sinusitis, and remanded claims related to ankle and respiratory disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence was approximately evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's conditions began during active service or were caused by his service-connected conditions.
