Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss and peripheral artery disease (PAD) as secondary to service-connected hypertension.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and conceded herbicide exposure, respectively, and the evidence supporting a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's service.
