Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, PTSD, a right knee disorder, and a right shoulder disorder. The initial evaluations for allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and peptic ulcer disease were also denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support the claims as it failed to establish a link between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's active service.
