Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and erectile dysfunction, as well as denied effective dates prior to April 18, 2022, for increased ratings and separate noncompensable rating for various conditions. The claim for an earlier effective date for a higher PTSD rating was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities or that the Veteran's symptoms were related to service, thus denying service connection and effective dates.
