Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right inguinal hernia scars and remanded claims related to hearing loss, GERD, hand arthritis, left ankle, and back disabilities. All other claims were denied.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on new evidence for hearing loss and the medical opinion linking right inguinal hernia scars to service. Other claims were denied due to lack of current disability or insufficient evidence supporting a link to service.
