Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for onychomycosis and denied a rating in excess of 70 percent for bilateral hearing loss. The claim for an increased rating for coronary artery disease was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence supporting the Veteran's current diagnosis of onychomycosis and its relation to his in-service foot infections, while the hearing loss did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
