Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus due to a grant of service connection in a prior rating decision. The claims for ischemic heart disease and prostate cancer were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The claims for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus were dismissed as they had been previously granted, making the appeal moot. For ischemic heart disease and prostate cancer, additional evidence and examination are needed to determine service connection due to potential exposure to Agent Orange.
