Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for chronic diarrhea, unknown etiology with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise to support a finding that the Veteran's tinnitus is related to his active service. However, there was not sufficient evidence to warrant an increased rating for the chronic diarrhea condition.
