Partly granted
The Board restored the 50 percent rating for bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and granted a 60 percent rating for urinary frequency effective September 19, 2023.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show an actual improvement in the Veteran's bilateral sensorineural hearing loss necessitating a reduction in his rating. From September 19, 2023, the Veteran's urinary frequency required absorbent materials which must be changed more than four times per day.
