Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and remanded the claims for gastroenteritis, left ankle disorder, and left knee disorder due to a need for additional medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The rationale provided by the July 2022 VA examiner did not support a finding of a relationship between the Veteran's current conditions and his military service.
