Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for bilateral hearing loss was denied. Service connection for mild cognitive impairment due to Camp Lejeune exposure was granted. The claim for skin cancer service connection was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision on the hearing loss rating was based on audiometric test results, while the grant of service connection for mild cognitive impairment was supported by a VA examiner's opinion linking it to Camp Lejeune exposure.
