Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for residuals of prostate cancer, hypertension, and tinnitus on a direct incurrence basis. The claim for bilateral hearing loss was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's prostate cancer, hypertension, and tinnitus are related to in-service exposure to jet fuel, while there is no persuasive evidence of a current disability of right or left ear hearing loss for VA purposes.
