Granted
The Board granted service connection for a lung condition, bilateral hearing loss, and tinnitus. The claim for peripheral neuropathy of the bilateral lower extremities as secondary to coronary artery disease was denied, along with the claim for a skin condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's active-duty service and his lung condition, bilateral hearing loss, and tinnitus, but not for the peripheral neuropathy or skin condition.
