Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 0 percent for bilateral hearing loss and remanded the claim for service connection for breathing issues.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing loss did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, while further evidence was needed to determine if his breathing issues were related to service.
