Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for diverticulitis and a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss, while remanding claims for service connection for various other disorders and a TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a nexus between the Veteran's claimed conditions and his military service, or that his hearing loss warranted a compensable rating.
